Just 6 minutes after Referee Ed Barfels blew his whistle to open the game, Wing ANNA KOBARA beat the Amazon Fullback to touch down in the corner. 5 minutes later the Amazon wing returned the favor with a try and conversion that put the Amazons in the lead – 7 to 5. 

On recovering the kickoff, SFGG struck quickly with KOBARA scoring under the posts for an easy conversion by Flyhalf LINDSEY KINSLER, putting the Gate women in front again – and didn’t look back. 

At the half, SFGG Women held a commanding 45 – 7 lead.  The Amazon attack threatened, but were unable to sustain an attack agains the well organized SFGG defense. The scoring slowed – in the second half with SFGG notching 2 more tries, and at the fll time mark The Amazons crossed the line to add another converted try.  At full time – SFGG enjoyed a decisive victory 55 – 14.

This was a good victory – with no serious injuries, and a lot of work for the entire squad.  Flanker KELLEY SHERER was named Player of the Match as she relentlessly pursued the attacking Amazons, and linked up with the breakaway runs on the attack.
Up next – a return match with an opportunity to revenge the only loss of the season to the women of Life West.  A serious challenge.
