Blaenau Gwent 41
Cardiff Quins 5
Cardiff
Quins went down 41-5 to a well drilled and physical Blaenau Gwent team
at Crumlin RFC last night- 12th April.
With
a number of regular players missing, the Quins played the majority of
the fixture will only 13 players and were exploited on the outside by
some good handling from a well organised Blaenau Gwent backline. Kim
Boaler showed her pace by scoring four tries for the home team.
The
Quins put in a brave effort for the 80 minutes, never looking to give up
and were rewarded in the second half by a well worked team try, set up
by a great break from second row Kim Parry and some slick hands from the
backs finished off by Gwawr Jones.
But
it was too little too late and Blaneau Gwent came back to score a final
try before full-time.
Nadine
Griffiths, Quins’ coach, who came out of retirement (again!) for the
match commented, “It was a really enjoyable fixture and I don’t
think the result reflected the game.
We played some really good rugby, but were just outdone because
of lack of numbers. Blaenau Gwent seem to be getting stronger each time
we play them, which is a credit to their coaches”.
Cardiff
Quins’ next match is a home to UWIC on Sunday 23rd April
2006, kick off 2pm.
