Leeds Ladies (all 17 of them!) travelled down to Bristol at the weekend for the equivalent to Tour O (except free!).

First game was against Nice Bristols which we won in sudden death 9-8(?) playing in quite windy conditions  Then they went on to play MU which ended up being 10-2(?), again quite windy conditions.  Also had our first Callaghan score of the year from Robin Keillor.  Love that rule! 

After winning all our pool games our semi as such was against the other half of Bristol, Nicer Bristols.  Can't remember what the score was in this, but we won something like 10-3(?).  Just remember we scored quite a few upwind points in some gale force winds!!

The final was against the Iceni ladies who had brought quite a strong squad.  The game was fairly evenly matched and we traded until 6-6 and then Iceni took the lead at 8-6.  Time was blown and Iceni thought that was the end of the game but we had been playing all day with a 2 point cap.  So we agreed to play a game to 10.  Leeds then scored the next four points in a row to take the game!  I don't know who got the turnovers or what happened (bit of a blur) but we WON!!!

Although we didn't celebrate the win too much it was a pleasing win and was good to see all our hard winter training coming off.  We managed to use our plays on offence and our zone and cup defence worked like a treat.

Bring on the tour finals!!!
