Bruisers v. Northshore

Sunday, the Bruisers defeated Northshore 42-0 in a physical match on our home pitch. In the opening fifteen minutes of play, the Bruisers found themselves defending within our own 22 until senior Kelly R., with excellent support, broke through Northshore's defensive wall, passing off to Emily who scored the opening try of the game. These were followed by a try by Dana and a try by Elizabeth, converted by Dana as the final minute of the first half clicked by.

The second half, Brookfield continued to pressure Northshore, retaining possession nearly the entire half, as Brookfield continually applied offensive pressure. The second half saw tries by Elizabeth, Holly, Beth and two tries by Kelly R., making the final score 42-0.

Sunday's game was also the initiation for Mari, our newest rookie, who played wing for the short-sided Northshore team. Mari repeatedly stopped the advance of her teammates on the wing with her aggressive tackling skills, earning her the rookie of the game honors. Player of the game honors were won by Caroline whose strong play at number 8 help keep forward momentum on offense.
