After defeating a physical and determined Rochdale Valkyries side, at Moorgate Avenue, in their last outing; the Women’s team host Eccles Ladies in the first of a trilogy of home matches at Priory Park this Saturday.
Training has gone well with the team focusing on its playing shape over the last fortnight. The team also had the benefit of Sale Sharks’ and England Fly Half Lizzie Duffy, inputting into a wintry training session recently. Aggressive defence has been a feature of recent matches and the team will need to be at their best against a strong visiting side, whilst in attack the team are willing to run from all areas of the pitch, and are guided by the experience half-back pairing of Mel Bramley and Mary Thorp.
The Team have one or two injury concerns, and hopefully will be able to put a strong team out against the Manchester side. If you’re not at the Sponsors’ Lunch, then grab a pie and drink and support the Ladies at 12.00.
