SUPERMARINE Ladies finished the season on a high by beating Bristol side St Mary’s Old Boys, 51-5, gaining two bonus points in the process.

Marine started with 14 players and finished with 13 due to injury, but that didn’t deter them from their gameplan.

Hot conditions meant the ladies had to dig deep and Marine had the opposition on the back foot from the start.

However, it took 10 mins to open the scoring with an excellent team try.

The floodgates opened from there on in, with Marine scoring five tries in the first half.

The second half started with several tries, including one from captain Claire Chard, breaking from the halfway line.

But St. Mary’s fought back and a lull in play saw them take advantage and score a runaway try when Marine’s defence was not switched on.

This only boosted Marine’s determination and they came back strongly, scoring two more tries within seven minutes of the full-time whistle.

Marine finished midtable this season and have outlined an improvement in fitness and increase in the number of players as two major goals for next term. Interested players should visit www.supermarineladies.co.uk.
