In horrendous conditions, Stafford adapted quicker with relentless carries and despite Lichfield’s best efforts the pressure told and Captain Izzy with a now trademark carry scored the 1st try of game unconverted. 5-0
Stafford continued to dominate and confidence was up with the ball been transferred superbly across the pitch with Freya sprinting in for Stafford’s 2nd try ,Niamh successfully and quite brilliantly drop kicking the conversion over 12-0.
The game then turned in Lichfield's favour and their excellent backline struck back with 2 quick tries taking us to half time 12-12

The next 15 mins were dominated by defence with neither side able to get control until former Stafford player Tori broke away from distance to score 12-19 to Lichfield.

Stafford heads seemed to be dropping but to their credit they re-grouped and started to show their early dominance with big forward carries and the centre’s running straight and hard breaching the Lichfield defence again through Katy she also held her nerve to kick an excellent conversion.19-19
Stafford now with the win in their sights continued to tackle relentlessly and carry the ball with real purpose ,once again Izzy crashing over from short range 24 -19 Stafford.
Lichfield attacked straight from restart they forced the turn over and scored in corner 24-24.

Stafford having scored the first try getting the win in a game which was a great advert for girls rugby!
