After that I (Helen) played for Pirates II against KK Lions. I started off on the wing then moved to scrumhalf in the second half. It was fun but I was absolutely knackered after.

Deflated
We had such psyche for the game but Thunderbirds chickened out of it. Apparently they had picked up injuries (the entire team?!?) during our game last weekend so they opted not to play!!! We were so disappointed. Good thing there had been a school boy 7's tournament that morning and Greenhill were still around. We played a 10 aside game which we lost then we played a 15 aside game which we won. It was fantastic. I'll upload the pictures later.

Thunderbirds versus Black Panthers - 20.02.10

Black Panthers lose to Thunderbirds at Makerere
We lost a game we should have won. Aargh. After dominating play, we made 3 costly errors that led to 2 tries and 1 penalty. Final score 13 - 05. Credit to Thunderbirds: they capitalised on our errors and as we were in attack we had no defence in place and they ended up scoring. We on the other hand failed to convert possession into points and our lineouts failed to fire. We're going to work on that this week. No point in playing beautiful rugby and losing the game. Emma and Irene were unavailable (Emma was writing exams and Irene had travelled to South Africa) so Claire moved from number 8, first to scrumhalf and Regina moved out to the wing. However, it wasn't working out so Claire moved out to the wing and Regina back to scrumhalf. Syliva got to start and Jane came off the bench for Sylvia. Our 2 centres, Brenda and Beatrice were breaking the gain line at will and Charlotte had a blinder on the wing. She ended up scoring a beautiful try in the corner. This time round our tackling was solid and we denied them tries off their own moves. But it's not good enough to do all the right things except scoring.
Next game is at Kyadondo Rugby Club at 1pm next Saturday. We need to redeem our selves.

Next game at Makerere University
We take on Thunderbirds at Makerere University this Saturday at 3pm. Brian Power, the Impis coach, is starting a women's team at Makerere University. Hopefully, female university students watching this game will get attracted to the beautiful game of rugby.
