Woman’s 10s Match Report: DB Pirates 22-5 University Unicorns – 31 October, 2015

A Halloween special for the third round of Ladies 10s Development games as Discovery Bay Pirates took on University Unicorns on Saturday the 31st. For the Pirates this saw them coming up against one of their favourite teams from last year University. It is always a privilege to play against such a great group of ladies who are just as passionate about developing and growing ladies rugby. The Pirates reserve bench was also helped out by Tin Sui Wai, showing what the development league is all about, meeting other new players and playing as much rugby as we can!

Some great rucking and tackles from University held Pirates back until Paula Andrea pushed through to score a try close to the post allowing her to convert her own 5 pointer. Many more tackles, some great line outs and scrums later Sienna Stubbs was able to secure Pirates second try. University were incredibly patient, working hard to secure the ball and ultimately were rewarded just on half time with a try.

After some motivational instruction at half time, the Pirates started the second half looking to push on and win their first game of the season. The match turned on a sensational 90 meter run from Lou Lou (Louise Shepherd) who ran the length of the pitch, fending off several University players to score her first ever rugby try! Final try of the day by Vanessa Kima sealed off the game and Pirates first win of the season.

Thanks to University for a great game of rugby and to the ladies of TSW who reserved for us. Looking forward to the next game and wishing University and TSW the best of luck as we progress through the season.

Women’s Rugby Fixtures – 24 October, 2015

Match Report: DB Pirates 0-20 Revolution

The second round of the Ladies 10s league kicked off under vastly different weather conditions to the first and for the Pirates a squad of 11 took the pitch featuring four rugby debutants: Jackie Philbrick Douglas, Catherine Osburn, Gloria Lau and Louise Shepherd. A nervous start, thus was to be expected as many of the ladies tried to find their way around the rules and the game, and figuring out that ‘match day fitness’ is a very real thing.

The first half saw the Revolution cross the line three times with no conversions putting them up 15-0. The Pirates spirit was not to be deterred though!

Half time came with some words of encouragement, the nerves were gone and it was now time to prove what we were made of. A wonderful kick and chase from Shannon Tjon ignited the fire and got the Pirates very close to the line, however they were unable to convert good field position in points. More was to follow, an amazing line break from debutant Jackie Douglas had all of the sideline spectators up and cheering. The Revolution crossed the line only once in the second half, although a lung busting 70 meter chase down and fantastic tackle by Sienna Stubbs almost prevented that.

An inspiring game by our debutants, all coming off the field with massive smiles. An overwhelming sense of achievement and Pirate Spirit…. Take what you can…. Leave nothing behind!
