Sarries Vs FE Madhill

On Saturday 21st March Sarries U18's hosted F.E Madhill Mustangs who were on tour from Ontario, Canada. The match was played in great spirit with both teams playing some excellent rugby. Sarries girls had the upper edge in the scrums and in loose play where their technical play gave them the advantage. The girls from Canada were playing their fourth game of their tour of Britain and some were obviously suffering from fatigue later in the game. Sarries eventually won by 46 points to 5, scoring 8 tries and 3 conversions. A special thanks to all those from Welwyn, Letchworth, Harlequins and Hertford for allowing us to put out a full team, and play lovely flowing rugby. Also thank you to the Mustangs for providing us with a great game and some great memories. We wish you a safe journey home.

Saracens 17 – 14 Middlesex Tigers

The second first game of the new year was a little more successful. It was a very close match against our local rivals, middlesex tigers, and it saw the girls win by 3 tries to 2. It was a good flowing match, with both teams using forwards and backs to score their tries.

Saracens 5 – 56 Berks. BaBas

The first game of the new year kicked of to a bad start with the league leaders Berkshire coming with a very strong squad, and out playing us to win deservedly by a large margin. Saracens quickly went a few tries down, but managed to get a deservedtry back just before half time to make the final score a lot to 5. Not a great start to the new year, but the spirit of the girls to never give up was truly inspiring.

Middlesex Tigers 17 – 27 Saracens

On a freezing cold Sunday 7th December, 9 Sarries girls travelled to Ealing for a great match of rugby. The pitch was slightly farm like, but it didn’t stop the great flow of rugby from both sides. Sarries started the scoring after lots of pressure on the tiger’s line, and went on to score the second as well. But tigers came back strong and scored 3 tries through a good break through and some chips ahead. We were still determined and pressured their defence until just before half time we made a break and scored. It was 17-17 at half time. Sarries girls came back strong in the second half, with the sun at our backs we pressured and pressured but were denied with some good defence. Finally though we broke through and scored to make it 22-17. After some more never ending attacking play from Sarries, their defence again buckled and we went over at the last play to end the match 27-17. Both teams did well and played some great rugby, well done to everyone. Scorers: Emily, Lauren x2, Claire, Meg (in random order!)
