Dumfries Saints Ladies 87 Glasgow Uni Ladies 5

Saints Ladies had a tremendous win against Glasgow Uni at Park Farm on Sunday.

The Glasgow team arrived with 12 players and with the ‘game on’ rules in the league, it meant Saints had to match numbers.

From the kick off, Maggie Brown tore through the defence and scored under the posts with Kelsie Smith knocking the conversion over, 7-0. Kelsie herself then got on the scoresheet with two quick tries, converting both, 21-0.

Kady Kirkpatrick was next to get on the scoresheet and guarantee the try bonus point, Kelsie again knocking over the conversion, 28-0.

Some charging runs from Abbie Smith and Lucy Forteith up the middle of the park drew the defence in, allowing Bryony Mccaw to break the line. Brodie Fergusson, who was a thorn in the Uni side for the whole game, then hit up and scooped the ball to Tamzin Corson who must of covered every blade of grass on the pitch to break three tackles and go over the whitewash, 33-0.

Annabelle Hiddleston, in her first game back after injury, stole the ball with a great move, then burst through the remaining defenders to score under the sticks and Kady stepped up to knock over the conversion, 40-0. Kady from the kick off rounded her opposite number to score out wide, 45-0.

The Uni ladies came out all guns blazing and managed to get a try of their own to take the half-time score to 45-5.

Words of encouragement from development officer Dom Stewart and stand in coaches Liam and Ross as well as a few changes in the team followed.

Bryony kicked off and the Saints ladies bounded down the field. Huge hit from Tamzin saw the ball spilled and Emily Hunter spun it out to Annabelle who again broke through the defence to score yet again, this time it
