Plenty of heart as Panthers play their first
National Championship league game at Percy Park
Percy Park RFC Panthers 5 v Stockton RFC Rockets 60
The task facing this novice Panthers side was brought into stark relief on Sunday when they faced a very experienced and well organised Stockton side at Preston Avenue.
Against the backdrop of a partisan home crowd the Stockton ladies quickly identified space out wide and taught the Panthers a valuable lesson in filling the field as they ran around the gutsy Panthers defence.
The Panthers will take heart from their determination to compete till the end and work as a team throughout and finished on a high when great team movement and a strong drive put Steph Gicquel in for the Panthers first league try.
Lots to work on as the ladies prepare for their second league game away to Houghton RUFC on 24/10/2021 with a kick off time of 3.00pm at Dairy Lane.
