LSRG DXV 1 – Groot Mokum
It was an icy Sunday afternoon, two days after an actual snowstorm. There was happily no rain, but we were treated with an icy wind. Typical Super Sunday vibes, so we had many supporters along the line, and even the cheerleaders of \u2018inclusive cheerleading\u2019 were there to support the ladies. Some pre-game statistics: In the last two seasons, we\u2019ve met Groot Mokum (GM) 4 times so far, of which we won 3 times. The numbers were in our favor. And, more numbers were in a our favor: Although full LSRG was around in large numbers, GM, unfortunately, was not. So we lent some of our feisty girls to them, and we were ready to play some ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kick-off.
Only 2 minutes into the game, it was Myrthe who was able to make a break after a ruck and passed the ball to Zoe. Zoe outran the full defense line of GM and scored the first try. After kicking the conversion, it was 7-0. When playing close to the tryline, Myrthe finally saw a gap and made a try (with a little push from Yv). Yv wanted to show that she could do more than just being a \u2018helper,\u2019 and took a sprint over left and scored a try. Myrthe had the wind beneath her wings after a break on the midfield and ran half the field by herself (with the opponent in hot pursuit), scoring another try. Our attacks were solid and stable, winning ground meter by meter. When we finally reached that tryline again, Peppie made the final jump and scored a try. When the ball was transferred via the line, it came into the hands of Zoe. With a beautiful sidestep, she sent the opponent \u201chet bos in,\u201d ran the rest of the pitch by herself, and scored again another try. Next, Anso slalomed her way through the defense line and scored the next try. Following, after some great offloads, it was Yv who was able to
cross that line. After that, Anso gave a perfectly timed offload to Yv, who scored another try, ending the first half with 57-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
