The girls travelled down to Llanelli to Parc y Scarlets on Sunday 11 October. It was a long, long journey - starting at 6am and involved many windy roads and many nauseous people! By the time we arrived to a friendly warm welcome from Helen and the Scarlets officials the girls were not in the best shape for a game of rugby, not helped from having to warm up in the training barn, which was very warm and sticky.
The game was fast paced and the Gogledd girls played well for a first outing, with several inexperienced players, but were no match for the well drilled Scarlets girls who came away with a 34-0 win. The Scarlets players and many of the spectators felt the scoreline did not reflect the game and the Gogledd coaches were justly proud of the players as they never let their heads drop and carried on fighting until the final whistle.
