Teddington Ladies 10pts
Drybrook Ladies 24pts

Following last weeks defeat against Guildford Drybrook Ladies had a point to prove and set off at 9.45 to make the 3 1/2 hour journey to Teddington.
Drybrook had worked harder than ever this week to prepare for this game as they needed to come away with a win.
Drybrook arrived at Teddington with two hours to spare so started mentally preparing well.
The match kicked off and Drybrook playing uphill applied great pressure through the forwards. Despite every effort Drybrook made they could not penetrate the Teddy line.
On the 23rd minute Teddington crashed through Drybrooks defence to score the first try of the match. Then just two minutes later

Drybrooks inside centre Hannah Meek received the ball off a really well executed backs move to break the line and score under the posts.
Ellie Underwood added the extras.
Drybrook were now in the lead 5-7 and really looking in control.
Just before half time Hannah scored Drybrooks second try of the match from strong running and a great dummy switch.

Half Time:
Teddington Ladies 5pts
