Caribbean championships Barbados 2009

Cayman 54 - Barbados 3.

I dont think the Bajans realised what had happened since we scraped a win from them in the 7s in the Bahamas and they beat us once For sure, we were a different team out there on Sunday June 21st.

We played like were drilled to play, with the forwards making penetrating runs for 2 to 3 phases before giving it out to the backs. Olive made some really god runs and intercepted one ball for an easy try. Loletta also did some good strong running and she also scored.

I came on in the second half to replace Caroline and had a good game, doing what i do best, scrapping for the ball, and stealing it...we lost a little strucuture in the second half as we allowed ourselves to play to the ability of the bajans, who were, by now, bickering amongst themselves. This is always a good sign! Karen Hart and Jess had outstanding runs as did Jo Zeigler who put in some monster tackles. the referee was shit!missing alot of hands in the ruck and not stopping the game in time fo (potential) injuries.

Rowena desprately wanted to score a try herself, she went to take the ball over but was stopped a foot short, I was supporting her and was about to take the ball out and put it down, when Lisa said "I have it" she took it from me and moved it 6 inches to score the try! Of course the team took the mick out of her..saying once again she has stolen the try from Sharon...Lisa rang Mick and told him
, which was just as well becuase
Rowena, eventually scored a try in the last 5 minutes , which was just as well because we would never have heard the last of it!
We had won, and the pressure was off! We were all ecstatic. Ypu would not believe the relief and for the next 5 hours the game was all we talked about, and the piss taken out of everybody at some stage or another!

We lounged by the pool, drank beers and I made some Martinins whilst we all waited to have the compulsory ice bath..then it was off for a lovely meal followed by dirty dancing at McBrides in St lawrence Gap. What a great day!
