Also from 28^th Oct 2007: The next game was a much tougher encounter vs Waterloo, a Liverpool side that were much older and came with a reputation of having all of the Merseyside county players in their side. We started off giving them too much respect and they took a 12 point lead almost immediately .However at the end of the first half we were camped on their line and must have run 5 or six phases of ruck ball using our strong forwards to attack their line but failed to score. The second half we continued the pressure as Waterloo began to tire .Bethan  get some space from a  number 8 pick move  and we worked the ball down the field .Eventually the ball was passed to Amy who ran in a carbon copy of her first try . This was converted  leaving the score 12:7 to Waterloo. Despite some great kicking to the corners we couldn't get over their line and at the death Waterloo scored a break away try from their powerful number 10 which they failed to convert - final score 17:7 .A very respectable performance in both games and demonstrated the potential this set of girls has. As they continue to attend county training sessions and play more and more games their confidence and knowledge of the game will build. Highlights of the game for me was the bravery of Claudia Shillabeer dropping on the floor to win the lose ball, Ashlieigh Creswell and Elodie running straight off the penalty moves. A fantastic and fearless performance which gives the whole team confidence for our next encounter verses Jimmies Angels at Home Sunday 11^th November kick off 1pm
