 Coach’s Comments

“The girls started the game fast, scoring a try within the opening 5 minutes. They had a very good defensive game keeping Sandgate High at 0 but the attacking plays were equally as good. We caught the opposition short a few times and used it to our advantage to cross the try line. The Barracudas played really well together at 13 a side for two 25 minute halves. The girls really enjoyed the extra time playing and having the extra players on field instead of 9 a side.”
