SUPERMARINE Ladies got back to winning form with a comfortable victory over London Welsh Ladies at home in their last Women’s Championship South West Two fixture of the season.

Marine started strongly from the off, making good ground and playing in Welsh’s 22 within minutes.

The ladies were dominant in scrums throughout and a particularly strong attempt only 10 minutes in led to a clean passage of play with the ball shipped wide through the hands and a try by full-back Nat Williams.

From the restart, Marine were again dominant and back in the Welsh 22 within a matter of minutes.

A strong drive by the pack led to a pick and go by scrum-half Karen Adams for a second try on 20 minutes, converted by Williams.

The restart led to an early break by number eight Claire Chard, but the Welsh defence brought her down.

Two quick balls in a row, however, gave flanker Sam Way Gooch an opportunity to cross the whitewash on 24 minutes, the try again being converted.

Already on the back foot, Welsh fought back hard and made good ground but were unable to penetrate the Supermarine defence as the hosts went in 19-0 ahead.

From the kick off, it was apparent that Welsh had regrouped and they made an early, fast break down the wing for a try.

The visitors attempted a kicking game to exploit Marine weaknesses but the home defence was impenetrable.

A line-out led to Marine gaining possession and captain and fly-half Claire Legg made an exceptional 50-metre break to put the ball down under the posts on 55 minutes, Williams again converting well.

Strong line breaks from the backs and good supporting play led to another try on 60 minutes by Chard.

Welsh pushed hard, making good ground again and playing in Marine’s 22, managing to drive over the line for their second and final try.

Winger Kathryn Barker played her first game for Marine.
