Lichfield Ladies game
Stayed for a half and enjoyed a committed attacking display from both sides. What really impressed me was Lichfield Ladies handling, support and continuity - they should give offloading lessons to Tigers!
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Stayed for the first half myself. Breakdowns were not as fiercely contested as in the men's game, but the offloading and running by both teams was superb. Can we get the Lichfield No 8 to give Crane lessons in how to run at pace AND break tackles? She was brilliant.

+2 and their #8 has a fantastic engine, starting and finishing a couple of moves.jgriffin wrote:Stayed for a half and enjoyed a committed attacking display from both sides.

Re: Lichfield Ladies game
I saw Lichfield Ladies v Saracens Ladies a few seasons back - the pace and accuracy of handling was a joy to watch and made the men's game at every level look sluggish.
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game
Re: Lichfield Ladies game
Maybe next time a ladies match before the Tigers match, rather than after. There would be more people watching, and with Tigers shorter, more focuses warmup, it wouldn't have to start too early. More people in the ground at an earlier time might also add to the bar takings!
Valhalla I am coming!

Re: Lichfield Ladies game
Agreed. A 1200 kick off before a 1500 main kick off would be logical.fleabane wrote:Maybe next time a ladies match before the Tigers match, rather than after.

Never going to happen as they would not want any disruption pre match due to lack of changing room space in the crumbie.jgriffin wrote:Stayed for a half and enjoyed a committed attacking display from both sides.

Not too difficult to overcome if the will was there.chipnchase wrote:Never going to happen as they would not want any disruption pre match due to lack of changing room space in the crumbie.jgriffin wrote:Stayed for a half and enjoyed a committed attacking display from both sides.

Re: Lichfield Ladies game
I doubt the will would be there from most of those that queue outside the turnstiles from over two hours before the Tigers game starts. It would mean opening the turn stiles on the crumbie about 4 hours before kick off.
After the mens game is best, then those who want to can show their support by staying and watching can do so for as much of the game as they want.
