2pm Sunday 15th December 2024 saw the clash with Horsham third in the table to Medway's 2nd.
Medway were in great spirits for the last game of 2024 and after a long break between matches were ready to give it their all. Medway starting with the sun against their backs and the wind with them. Medway were ferocious from the off taking the ball the Horsham and showing their intent to make Horsham work hard. Some excellent carries with fast ruck clearance saw Medway move the ball quickly putting Horsham under real pressure. After 8 minutes of intense attack Medway score the first try of the game. Only 4 minutes later Medway are 12-0 in the lead and showing the work put in during training is paying off. Captain Caro was carrying the ball like a tornado making 15/20 meters a time on each run. Her forward colleagues working hard to clear Horsham defences to allow the Medway back line to show their skills. A fantastic calm display from Lauren F allowed the ball to move quickly. Medway wen t into the second half with a 29-0 lead.
The wind and sun made little difference to Medway's performance in the second half with strong carries by Medway's backs. Solid defensive and attacking efforts from Hannah L and Emily S in a fantastic 41-7 victory earnt them Forward and Back of the match respectively.
Medway remain in a solid 2nd place in the table and are relishing the second half of the season and some big games!
Have a great Christmas MRFC fans see you in 2025 for more!
