WIN: 46-0

On a beautiful sunny and windy day, the HARC women's team warmed up by stomping down and literally driving over the dry, hard, rutted pitch in futile attempts to make the ground more comfortable for tackles. Fortunately, the home team had possession of the ball the majority of the match. Against a physically larger and tenacious Denton team, the HARC women made good use of continuity, support, and communication to quickly set up and maintain a pace that lasted throughout the match. Scoring started early with a great over-the-try-line-dive by Nikki Wright. Jen Lin scored two tries, in between which Back of the Match Amanda Hallermann scored her first try to finish off the shortened half due to injury on the Denton side. Amanda went on in the second half to make a clean catch off of Denton's flyhalf's boot and proceeded to run as quick and as elusive as a bunny down the sideline to score her second try. Our very own Precious, aka 8man Devin Keller, scored the next two tries off of excellent driving by the forwards, who were skillfully commanded by jet-lagged scrumhalf Alena Kolarsky. The backs put on quite a show, finishing off the game with a nice run by Mattison Grey. Brandi 'Slab' Boyd perfected her spin move and also made 3 conversions. Although she didn't score a try, Dea Henry advanced the ball multiply times off of pick-and-gos and punches, breaking through the defense with such skill and power that she deserved to be named Forward of the Match. The final score was 46-0 for the home team, excellent playing by all.
