Kendal Ladies headed upto Carlisle

Kendal Ladies headed up to Carlisle to play their first 10's match and the effort from all the team was praised by head coach Rob Quarry.

With a disappointing start the ladies pulled back to a score of 28-32 with last third to play.

After losing second row player Emma Rowlinson to concussion a Carlisle substitute was borrowed. The last third was played with pace but Kendal took siege as the Carlisle ladies turned over the ball and with a pacey full back saw Aimee Sharp chase down the Carlisle player.

Abby Bland was impressive again in converting all but one and scoring her first try of the season.

Pace and agility gave Vanessa Temple 4 tries followed by Sarah Simpson's 2.

With a final score of 40-52 the Wasps succeeded defeat this time but with another game under their belts and a little more experience to stand them in good stead for Sunday's trip to Southport in a 10's competition.

The Kendal team consisted of Abby Bland, Amiee Sharp, Meg Brady, Sarah Simpson, Vanessa Bonita Temple, Fleur Stanton, Emma Rowlinson, Kerry Procter, Emma Chadwick, Mary Page.
