Falcons 1XV at Home V Guernsey Ladies

This weekend saw the Falcons 1 XV on familiar ground with a home fixture against Guernsey Ladies. Autumn had truly landed offering up bitter wind and rain but this did not deter the Falcons and their avid supporters from a great show of rugby!

Undoubtedly a competitive fixture, Guernsey came at the Falcons with a strong pack, however not to be deterred our forwards proved themselves a physical driving force, relentlessly gaining metres in the oppositions half. With some fantastic leg drives, grafting and line breaks, the score spoke for itself as the Falcons got themselves onto the score board.

Credit to Guernsey who did not give up their pursuit of the Falcons with a last ditch attempt to equal the score. The try was held up by a Falcons dominant defence in the final moments and a roaring celebration was heard across the club as the ref blew the final whistle.

A great team effort, with players adapting to challenging conditions, new positions and a true fighting spirit for the win. Lets Go Falcons!
