2 wins and 100% defence - Kitaka 7s

We faced our rivals from across the road twice during the Kitaka 7s on 18th September. We won the first game without breaking a sweat with Regina showing marvellous pace to cross the try line twice. Emma came off the bench to replace Regina and effortlessly rounded her opponents to dot down beneath the posts. I (Helen) missed the conversions for Regina's tries (just marginally I should say) but got the conversion for Emma's try. Final score was 17 - 00.

We won the second game 5 - 0 courtesy of a try by me. Charlotte missed the conversion. We actually played with more intensity in the second game but we made too many knock ons and basic errors that killed our attacking game. We lost the patience that we had in our first game and we too desperate to score. Our our attacking line was not deep enough so we failed to get any momentum in attack. Our defence was great though with Beatrice and Sexy continuously putting in big hits that had the crowd screaming.

We've already won the 7s circuit but 7s at Namboole is up next on 25th September. We want to take this thing without conceding any points.
