Featherstone Rovers Ladies over-powered the Oulton Raidettes in round 5 of the league.

The away team settled quickly as Tash Fox put Featherstone on the board with a score after just 6 minutes.  Katie Cooper-Birkenhead put up a right to left high kick on the last tackle, which bounced beyond an Oulton defender, and was collected by Erica Zanre, who passed to Tash Fox to score.

Several plays later Jasmine Rowley received the ball, burst through two defenders before being tackled just short of the line. From the resulting play Sinead Peach dived over to touch down, converted by Katie Cooper-Birkenhead.
Both defences were working hard and Rovers were held up over the line several times. However, the home defence was caught short on the last attack of the half when, following a scrum 20 metres out, the ball was shipped right to debutante full back Emma Hardy to score her first try, once again Katie Cooper-Birkenhead kicked the extras.

Just ten minutes into the second half and Emma Hardy held on superbly to a pass from Jasmine Rowley to go over for her second.

The home side were defending resolutely but continual pressure from Featherstone resulted in Jess Hammond crashing over from acting half, the extra 2 again scored by Katie Cooper-Birkenhead.
Oulton then had a good spell of attacking, putting up numerous high kicks but Featherstone’s defence stood firm and Kaitland Firth did well diffusing a couple of these under great pressure.
Five minutes from time Katie Cooper-Birkenhead collected the ball, ran diagonally at the Oulton players and following an excellent dummy run from Jasmine, spotted the gap that opened up in front of her to score and then added the goal.
Final Score 0 – 32
Although the score makes it look one-sided, both teams played their part in an entertaining game.
Katie Cooper-Birkenhead received Rovers player of the match but every player played their part plus a terrific debut from Emma Hardy on her first senior game.
Thank you to Sue Hayward for the report and Ainsley Bennett for the photographs.

 Round 4 of the Womens Rugby League 2016 Season – Featherstone Rovers hosted Leigh Miners Rangers.
Featherstone v Leigh 2016-29

Photo: Ainsley Bennett

The home team showed they meant business in the latest league game as, only 2 minutes into the game, Jasmine Rowley scored after some fine inter-passing between Andy Dobson and Amy Smith.  Shortly afterwards Featherstone were on the attack again and Sarah Dunn took a short pass and accelerated through the defence to touch down, Katie Cooper-Birkenhead kicking the goal.

Sinead Peach then, on the last tackle, took the ball at acting half, and burrowed over. The away side were defending relentlessly but after a high kick by Katie C-B was fumbled by their full back, Amy Smith went over to score.

Ten minutes from the half time whistle and Gemma Walsh showed great determination running up the slope, which resulted in Sinead Peach giving a well-timed short pass to Andy Dobson, try and goal.

The final try of the half went to Natalie Harrowell on her return after injury (great way to mark her return) a powerful spin away from the two defenders to put the ball down, goal added.

Half Time Featherstone Rovers Ladies 30 – 0 Leigh Miners Rangers

In the second half, Featherstone carried on where they had left off and just one minute into the half Sinead Peach scored her 2nd, following a great run from Jess Hammond, Katie C-B added the 1st of 5 second half kicks.

Although Featherstone were having a good percentage of the attacking play, they also showed a powerful defensive side to their game, which had been lacking the previous week, and were rewarded when a turnover saw Sarah Dunn receive the ball 30 metres out in centre field, with perfect step off her right foot to go round the full back to score.

The home team were in no mood to let up and further scores from Jasmine Rowley, Sinead Peach (hat trick) and Jasmine Rowley again (hat trick) finished with tremendous skill when on her back, which took the score to 56 – 0.

Natalie Harrowell then took her tally to two when a floated long pass from Gemma Walsh was taken over the whitewash. Gemma Walsh followed with a try of her own after bursting the defensive line.

The final try went to Jasmine Rowley when she picked up the ball on half way and with a Leigh defender in hot pursuit out-paced her to score wide right.

Final Score: Featherstone Rovers Ladies 72 – 0 Leigh Miners Rangers

Featherstone players of the match voted by opposition coach Sinead Peach, Sarah Dunn and Jasmine Rowley.

Next game will be on Sunday 15th May when Featherstone will be away to Oulton Raidettes while Leigh Miners Rangers will travel to Bradford Bulls.
