After being runner up in the Herts Sports Awards coach Greg Maxwell had to get back to the serious business of a Welwyn u15 league game against Ellingham & Ringwood who have always been a strong side when the two clubs have met previously.

Unfortunately due to the half term holiday Ellingham & Ringwood only had 8 players so Welwyn lent them two players so they could play 10 aside. Welwyn kicked off and started the stronger team, it was not long before Lotte Clapp was given the ball from a move from the forwards and ran in the first of her three trys. Ringwood got themselves together very quickly and with a break away try down the wing scored the first of their two trys.

Welwyn soon got the second half going with a very quick try at the start of the second half but again Ringwood came back with anther try but by this time Welwyn took control and ran in three more trys by Sid Nurthen. Bryony Pomfret and Beth Summerfield with Abbie Maxwell converting twice making it a good all round team performance. A special mention should go to Rachel Selwood for the way she played today, the runs and angles she took were out standing and also Ellie Hurer who's was outstanding as full back with at least 4 try saving tackle's.

Greg maxwell said we have some very new players that are now becoming a big part of the team and the team are now starting to gel very well, some of those new girls played today for the opposition and played to the best of their ability I know it was a big ask but without them doing this we would not have been able to play the game so thanks goes to Sarah Blisset, Eleanor Dixon, Lucy Corrigan and Kate Summerfield.
