Despite a 51-12 scoreline, the Widows played some really good rugby as they continue to improve with every game under the coaching team led by Gary Wenban.
Westcliff's number 14 was the standout player of the game, weighing in with a number of tries. conversions and a penalty.
The home supporters are always full of voice, encouring the girls on throughout the game, but they were given reason to be extra loud on two occasions early in the second half thanks to two tries from Katie 'Squawk' Lambert. The first of which she caught the ball from a Westcliff clearance and ran the best part of 75 yards to put the ball down over the line at the other end of the field.
