WPL
Glendale Lady Raptors v
Berkeley All Blues
Berkeley and Glendale both headed into the weekend with
3-1 records, each looking to claim topspot in the Women’s Premier League’s Blue
Division. Glendale ran out swiftly to a 13-nil lead in the opening stages of the
match on a penalty struck by flyhalf Hannah Stolba and groundings by Kayla
Soliday and Kelly Mullen, but Berkeley’s poise and power provided ample
opportunities which the All Blues managed well to grab a 19-13 advantage by the
end of the first forty with a trio of trys by flyer Ardia Keller, backrow lock
Kedra Davis and fullback Lisa Dombrowski, with two-from-three of the scores converted
by Blues standoff Ruth Bryson.
The All
Blues extended their margin with a dot by openside Frieda Fetuu in the 47th
minute and things were looking grim for the home team; but Stolba’s
quickly-tapped penalty from five meters out and the #10’s canny crease into
goal for her own conversion made the rugby tight and right and the Raptors were
four points adrift at minute 51. Glendale regained the lead on a try by
blindside Laura Miller at 74’. It was there for Berkeley as the sands flowed,
but a numbers penalty reversed possession and a further sticksplitter by Stolba
made for final numbers of 28-24 for Raptors and sole possession of first place
in the Blue Conference.
