Inverness Craig Dunain Ladies v Shetland Ladies 29/9/18 Bught Park, Inverness.
The Inverness Craig Dunain Ladies squad for this match was again a real mix of more experienced and many less experienced players, or players new to our team. Our ethos this season is to give all players as much real game time as possible regardless of experience.
The Shetland ladies shot out of the blocks in the challenging conditions at the Bught and scored within a few minutes. Another try soon followed but then Inverness started to settle down and kept the visitors out for a sustained period before Shetland put more points on the board close to half time. The Inverness girls did not let this distract them from the task at hand and they had a much better second half with a good number of attacking opportunities and metres gained. However, repeated errors resulted in turnover ball which the Islanders exploited fully to our cost. Inverness dug in and their perseverance paid off with two tries. Not the result we had hoped for but the Shetland Ladies were deserved winners and we look forward to our trip North to see them next month in Lerwick.
