1st round of 7s Tournament
11.10.08 The first leg (out of 3) for the Swiss women’s rugby 7s tournament of 2008/9. Basel were hosting it his time and we had to set of very early as we had a 3 hour trip and our first match was at 12:00. But it was a beautiful day and we were all keen.
We arrived to find an extremely well organised event hosted by Basel who are no longer in our league for this year but who certainly continue to carry the torch for female rugby. Our first match for this year was against Bern. The long break certainly showed our many cobwebs which were were not blown away and we lost 20-5. We then played against Luzern whom ended up in the final. As always they are a very hard, well drilled team. We played with an improved game but still
we lost 20-0.
A lunch break followed and we were determined not to have come all this way for nothing. With focus on getting agrresivity in the tackle and rucks, we came out fighting showing our Wildcat hearts in our next game against Basel. Each person put everything into it – we played our own game with an improved Wildcat spirit and we won 10-5.
Through to the play-offs and we faced Zurich next. They are always a tough side but we were determined to improve with each match. We came out fighting again with a renewed energy and aggression. We played with even more passion and an improved performance and got the all important win 12-5.
We had done enough to earn us 3rd place (out if 8)!
Well done girls. Our season is off to a positive start and I’m sure we’ll get even better throughout the season.
