Today was the U16Gs first game in the National Cup.
They were on the back foot going into the game with only 15 players available to play.
During the warm up an injury was picked up by Fawcett which ment they were starting the game with only 14 players.
Egremont came out quick from the first whistle pushing Keswick back into their 25. 2 try attempts from Egremont were chalked off by the referee as he deemed the ball wasn’t grounded. Egremont continued to pile on the pressure and eventually Turner battled to the try line to the first try of the game.
Keswick responded quickly and put the ball over the line making it 7-5 to Keswick.
Things started to unravel for Egremont as a number of mistakes allowed Keswick to get possession of the ball and taking full advantage, putting the ball over the line.
Richardson, using her speed and strength got one back for Egremont to keep them in the game making it 12-10 to Keswick.
The game continued at a fast pace and again Egremont made mistakes in their 25 and allowed Keswick to pounce and get more points on the board.
Half time and it’s 24-10 to the home side.
The second half got under way and Egremont pushed the Keswick defence back into their 25 and after a couple of failed attempts Forster found a gap and put it over the line under the sticks allowing Greenough to convert. 24-17
Shortly after Keswick exploited some open space down the far side of the field to make it 31-17.
The game wasn’t over as Greenough blasted through the Keswick defence to make it 31-24.
Then Keswick turned on the pressure and punished Egremont for every mistake they made, taking advantage down the far side of the field with a flurry of tries taking the score line to 59-24.
Egremont didn’t give up and just before the final whistle Foxwell put her name on the scoreboard.
Final score 59-31.
Full credit to Keswick today their defence was solid and they kept Egremont on the back foot.
