The first half were tow tough quarters for the Lady Roos as each push forward was met by strong High Park resistance. New recruit Kristen Payne showed that she has played the game before and put on a great display of skills accumulating kicks at will. Sarah Prowse strongly defended from fullback stopping a number of otherwise certain goals.
The third quarter saw glimpses of the Lady Roos of 2011 when Ashley Walker moved forward to strengthen the forward line. The Lady Roos were unable to capitalize on their forward domination only ending up with three points but held High Park scoreless for the quarter.
The last quarter was hard fought with High Park getting the best of the scoring opportunities.
Overall the game was one of two halves for the Lady Roos with strong performances from all the new recruits: Sylvie, Shelaine, Paynie and Lenore. With a game under their belt and new found enthusiasm wins do not look to be far away.
