I have excellent, important news: Today's 91-0 rugby victory over Stirling University made us, the Edinburgh University Ladies Rugby Football Club, the rugby
champions of the Scottish University Sports Association. Not only that, but we are undefeated and not a single try (or even point) was scored against us. What does this all mean? We (1) get a fancy trophy, (2) are going to have an awesome night out tomorrow after our Christmas Dinner social, but more importantly (3) go into the
BUSA Playoffs. (BUSA = British Uni. Sports Assoc.) There's two playoff rounds, quarterfinals, semis, and then the finals at Twickenham(!!!!) in London. Oh, we're so gonna make it. It's a tough road, but we're going into BUSA with the best record we've ever had, the only shut out win of SUSA we've ever had, a lot of talent, and a deep bench. Having lots of awesome subs is the most important, especially since last year we lost against (I think) Leeds Metropolitan Uni by 3 points with four starters injured and off the pitch (including the fly-half with a dislocated knee). I'm so excited. The first match is sometime in early March... which gives me enough time to start a weights program after Xmas break. Bring it
on.
Here's me jumping in the line out (first pod, with superlifters Bunty and Lucy) during warm-ups:
And here we are, after the match! (note the bloody knees, their pitch was really gritty, argh):
I'm so excited. I think I'm going to go have some cookies to celebrate.
