Sunday saw a tough day over the border, with both sides equally matched in strength and defensive efforts. The first half caught Preston stuck in their half willing to get over the gain line but North Ribblesdale held strong. Two tries for the home team in the first half gave Preston the drive in the second, gaining momentum with the game and no. 14 Lauren getting the ball over the line for the first time this season following a storming run down the wing from Hoppers newcomer no.15 Isabelle. The rest of the game saw a hard fort battle between defense and attack on both sides, Preston managing to keep North Ribblesdale on their side of the line this time. No further scores concluded the match with a tight 12 - 5 win to the home team. Congratulation for our four players on debut! We look forward to working hard at training this week ahead of our next fixture at home on Sunday (10.11.24) with Lancaster Lionesses visiting.
