Sun. 08.09.19 - Millwall Venus [7] v [57] Chesham Stags (A)

Millwall – 1 Try (Rachel Castola, Con. Georgia Kurowska Kyffin)

“We all played our hearts out and it was great to see the potential and fight in this team. The forwards and backs worked together smoothly, despite not having done a huge number of team run throughs. A lot of points to work on, but I’m excited to see how we progress. There is so much heart in this team.” – Jackie Esono, Captain

Key Moment:

• Rachel’s try – she received the ball on the half way line; stepped multiple defenders; outpaced the full back and scored between the posts. This was skilfully converted by Georgia.

There were sustained periods of excellent defending, where Millwall kept Chesham off their try line with strong and powerful tackles. This was the Millwall debut for five new players, who showed themselves to all be excellent additions to the line-up. This was the first match of the league which we are looking to build on as the season begins in earnest. Our next home game is on 15th September against Windsor Ladies.
