Inuries take their toll on 1st team

Given the acute injury problems - some might say a crisis - it was hardly a surprising result, but we still managed to produce a performance of real character and run in three tries, two for Dale Rutledge and one for Richard Hile.

Guernsey managed to put some pressure on their opponents on occasion, but ended the game with seven props on the pitch as forcing square pegs into round holes became a necessity.

Sadly, Sam Whitehead has joined the injury list after limping off with an ankle injury after just 15 minutes.

Remember to get down to Footes Lane on Sunday for the ladies’ second league fixture against Portsmouth Valkyries. Kick off is at 11.30am.
