Having been defeated by Devizes on two occasions last season, the third showdown on home turf for the Salisbury ladies was a hotly faught one on Sunday, 30th October. In the first 15 minutes it seemed an evenly-matched game, however, until the power of the Salisbury pack lead to injury of the Devizes front row, and they were forced to go to uncontested scrums. With strong line-outs from the girls in green and some excellent rucking phases, the first try was laid down by Lucy Davis. This opened the flood-gates as the ladies brought three more tries from Gemma David, Megan Stocker and Louise Doherty. An un-breakable defense and and excellent work at the break-down allowed the backs to work the over-lap and slot the tries in with ease. Two conversions left the score at half-time at 24-0 to the Salisbury Ladies. Unfortunately, due to a serious injury of a Devizes player, the game had to be abandoned, but the ladies left proud having not conceded a single point since the start of the season. Their next game will be at home to Totton on 20th Nov
