The Women are Ready to Rumble

North Dorset Women will play their first league game at home to Christchurch Ladies on November 14th.

The North rock the Dockers

Dorset & Wilts Div 1 South

East Dorset Dockers                        12

North Dorset RFC                             27

Dockers kicked off and forced North into mistakes, and off a scrum, their centre crashed through to score under the sticks, 7-0.

The Dockers defence was more than a match for North and repeatedly stopped mauls just short of the line. Then Dockers broke and crashed over for a second try. North came back, finding themselves in better positions and the last play of the half saw Bettesworth smash through: 12-7.

North needed that and eventually, Dockers buckled and Bettesworth scored his second try.

North’s tails were up, Adam Trevis scored the third and from a lineout, North span the ball wide in a well-worked move, ending up with Tom Rose smashing through his opposite number and grabbing North’s fourth of the day, earning them a bonus point.

Dockers huffed and puffed for 15 minutes, but they couldn’t break down the green wall.

North then won two quick penalties, the second kickable, and Jones added the three-pointer, taking the score to 12-27.

North player of the match: Charles Jobling
