Re: Womens Team
Bit of a poor quality first quarter, with neither side getting their handling or lineouts to stick much. Some ill-discipline on our part too.
Novocastrians' kicker appears not to have made the long trip, as that's a major hamstring for them. Got to be hard making that journey for a 1pm kickoff.
We settled more into our game eventually, and managed to execute some sharp attacks. Bit guilty of trying to play too wide-to-wide, and some white line fever, but we're always looking to play ball.
27-0.

Re: Womens Team
Dominant 2nd half for us. 66-0
We were able to suffocate them with our linespeed and breakdown work. Though the ref was very hot on us, and penalised us multiple times for offside. Probably a fair call. Our ball skills let us down occasionally, but we've definitely improved our attacking shape as the season has gone on.
Suspect they were struggling for players a bit, as they only had the 4 replacements, and a couple of injuries. Then there was the lack of kicker I mentioned. We looked much fitter.
Georgia Bradley looks a dynamic addition to the pack. I thought the halfbacks kept us moving well, and Childs was a powerful focal point in the centre. Iavarone finished off a hattrick. Good cameos from Jade Jones and Mills.

Re: Womens Team
From the chat post-match, Novos did have to bring some of their 2nds down for the match, so they were under-strength.
Apparently their skipper is Deano's daughter!

Ah yes, I don't know where I got three from!

Re: Womens Team
We were away at bottom side Harrogate today. We won 87-0 at Welford Road, and today we won 3-114... A complete mismatch.
We took the opportunity to make some rotations and different combinations. A first start in a couple of months for fullback Harriet Roberts and backrow Zoe Warrington. A deserved first start in her new position of prop for Jade Jones, and a first start in the 2nd row for Kat Turner.
Scorers: Draycott (5), Warrington, Roberts (2), Childs (2), Burgham (2), Bird (2), Relf, J.Jones, Iavarone, Richardson.
All our remaining fixtures are all against bottom half teams, so it would be a miracle if we didn't keep our perfect record right through to the playoffs.

Re: Womens Team
From @HistoryTigers on twitter
Not sure that'll ever be beaten.The first century for @LeicesterTigers since the men’s side beat Liverpool St Helens 100-0 in 1992. And therefore the club’s largest margin of victory.

Draycott did look good on the highlights of last game. Here’s hoping the club continues to upload them!Darc Tiger wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 1:14 pm We were away at bottom side Harrogate today. We won 87-0 at Welford Road, and today we won 3-114... A complete mismatch.

Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

Don't expect them for the away fixtures this season, but we should get trylights from the Welford Road matches.No6_Flanker wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 6:07 pm Draycott did look good on the highlights of last game. Here’s hoping the club continues to upload them!
We'll probably host the playoff final too, should we get there.

Re: Womens Team
Apparently I was wrong! Not the highest quality footage, but here's all 18 of our tries from the weekend, plus the raucous celebrations from the home team as their loosehead pops over 3 point!

Re: Womens Team
The difference in standard doesn’t help anyone! Well done on a great victory but you can’t help feel for the opposition
Re: Womens Team
Once they get into the premier 15s, those mismatches will disappear.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….
