In the first round of the women’s games, the Boars were unlucky against Mudgee, however, with a young team, the Boars Ladies should hold their head high.
Boars opened their scoring with a try scored by Taylor Draper after a fabulous 60m run from Cailin Westcott. Halfway through the second half, again Parkes made a big break with Maely Macgregor, another player in the very first year of rugby, bustled the ball up through the center, driving through the defense and scoring under the post. The conversion was easy.
The Boars Ladies are still learning their set plays, and may have been a little overwhelmed facing the reigning premiers in their first match. The final score Mudgee 27 to Parkes 12. We are looking forward to big things coming with this team as these young girls develop their skills and learn the nuances of the game.
Players player and two points to Alice Maier, three points Maely Macgregor and one point to Cailin Westcott.
This Saturday when rugby returns to Spicer Oval, the ladies kick off at 12.30pm, against Wellington. So grab a mate or two and head along to support the team.
