Our u18 girls combined with last week's foes, to become the best of friends yesterday at Barking RFC. The East London club had laid on an afternoon of development rugby & our girls joined forces with our old friends at Grasshoppers to play a full XV a-side match on a very big pitch. Having played Grasshoppers last week, the combined team obviously had an inkling of where each teams' strengths were & played a full bloodied, rugged match against a very good Old Colfeians side. It was a tight, tense and enjoyable spectacle with our Grasstead / Hamhoppers triumphing 12-5. It was great to see these new friends putting all on the line and keeping out OCs, who were throwing everything they had at the combo team in the last 5 minutes, searching for the equaliser. Thank you to all the coaches, the girls & to Barking RFC for laying on a great afternoon of rugby.
