Review of 2005/06 season

Following promotion from South East 2 in the previous season Camberley Ladies had what we can call a successful season finishing fourth in their new division. At times the standard of rugby left a little to be desired, however, with more wins than loses, lots of tries scored and one of the most resilient defences in the division this season should see the Ladies finishing high in the table once more.

 

2006/07 season

Following a successul 2005/06 season, and an even more successful summer 7's the Ladies were on a high entering their pre-season warm up. With games against Guildford (17-0, win), Canterbury (71-0, win), and Trojans (29-15, win) the mood in training was very good. Although establishing substantial wins in all three pre-season matches thier was still work to do. With a tough first league match against Blackheath away in the not so distant future training was all that was left to prepare the Ladies for their league competition.

Review: Having had such a successful pre-season warm up Camberley Ladies were looking forward to opening their league campaign for 2006/07. With Blackheath away as the first game it was always going to be tough, but no-one knew how tough until the game started. Blackheath took the lead from a penalty 'tap' in the first 15 mins, to score a try leaving Camberley 5-0 down. The Camberley defencwe held strong for the following 55 mins surviving injury and a sin bin. Following a bout of physical forwards work Blackheath broke the Camberley defence once more to score their second try of the game. With only 7 players playing in their correct position at any one time Camberley found it difficult to create anything inspiring, with only a couple of good attacking runs throughout the whole game. A valiant effort from a severley depleted team. Forward of the Match: Kate Chapman Back of the Match: Kristen Taylor, and Kat (can't remember surname!!! sorry!)

Review: As I was away we've pulled together a match report of sorts. Enjoy! Um... we scored and converted but they scored a penalty. Toward the 60th minute Hove attacked the Camberley 22 for about 10mins but on a line out they had on player extra so Camberley got a penalty and booted it back in their 22... um... um... um... um... Camberley created a tonne of chances but didnt quite get their offloads quick enough to make Hove pay. Hove defended well but the Camberley rucking was good. Clare Denison missed a penalty in about 50 minute before Hove began to apply more pressure. Forward of the Match: Sarah Burgess Back of the Match: Jess Maurad

Review: An awesome team display from backs and forwards helped secure Camberley’s finest victory of the season so far. With London Welsh kicking off the game to Camberley not knowing the immense level of determination to beat them that was waiting… From the kick off the ball was safely collected and driven in by the Camberley forwards, and after a couple of successful rucks the ball was shipped from Sheree, through Claire, to unleash the backs. Just inside Camberley’s half the break began with Denise sprinting through a gap, cutting the Welsh defence in half, to put 5 points on the board within the opening five minutes. Claire soon making it 7 with a clinical conversion. The game followed a similar structure throughout, with Welsh committing many players to their rucks allowing them to retain possession for significant periods but Camberley’s defence proved solid - Welsh made little ground and in some cases were driven backwards. The ball was stolen on numerous occasions as Camberley operated a blitz defence closing down the number 9 and 10 before they had a chance to react and offload. Strength from Kate Chapman and Goyder was crucial in wrapping players up to allow the other forwards the chance to ruck through. The second try of the game was scored in similar fashion to the first by Debbie, who ran excellent lines all afternoon and was able to hit the gap created by the backs move and to capitalise on the space in front of her. The scrums early on were dominated by Camberley winning their own scrums and turning Welsh’s over. Welsh did hit back towards the second half but they were still no match for the Camberley pack. The lineout for Camberley worked well with SJ giving the needed height to win the majority of ball. Camberley’s third try came from an outstanding individual effort from Georgie. After a break by the Welsh winger the ball was turned over and collected on the back foot in the 22. Georgie then sprinted the length of the pitch past 3 or 4 of the Welsh’s would-be defenders to score her first of 2 try’s. Half time came and went with Camberley kicking off, with the resultant catch fumbled by the Welsh midfield and pounced on by Camberley. A number of quick offloads allowed Goyder the chance to put a well worked try under the posts. Another excellent try, again from a re-start, by Camberley. The last two tries were scored by breaks from Debbie and Denise with the backs using the ball to great effect. In between Welsh scored a well deserved try, by persistently scooping the ball from rucks until one of the backs slipped through, down the side of the ruck, to put 5 points on the board. Overall an exceptional team performance by Camberley in what was an enjoyable afternoon. The final score, 38 – 5. Forward of the Match: Kerry Johnson - persistance and hard work throughout Back of the Match: Debbie Haydon - breaking through defences running excellent lines all afternoon

Review: After a long Christmas break Camberley were feeling fresh to take on the challenge of Hove as their first game back. A tough game saw the Ladies pull out a fantastic team performance to triumph. A first half sin binning for Lisa Goldsmith put pressure on Camberley after they took an early lead after what can only be describes as a team try. The fourteen held well only conceeding one try. A few more points were added in the first half, with Camberley going in ahead at half time. The second half saw both teams put points on the board with tries from both Clare Denison and Denise Walsh. Hove hit back with a couple of their own but the final score of Camberley's closest game so far this season resulted in Camberleys favour with tham winning the match 26-25. Forward of the Match: Tash Kennedy Back of the Match: Denise Walsh

Review: Wanting to keep their winning run going in the new year Camberley went into this game with their heads held high and mind focused strongly on the game in hand. Some quick points on the board from Kerry Gaffney and Clare Denison helped Camberley's confidence. The backs and forwards combined well to produce a first half performance worthing of being filmed for future reference! Half time saw a turn around in ends but not in fortunes. Quins pushed strong, threatening once or twice but not really threatening the Ladies. A third try, from Lisa Goldsmith, helped extend the Ladies lead. A twenty minute period of open play resulted in Camberley conceeding two tries, but not the game. Going on to win the game 29-19. An awesome team effort brought the Ladies through another tough game with outstanding performances from the entire pack, and some creative workings form the back line - Camberley looked untouchable at times.

Review: Camberley were joined in this friendly fixture by a few of the Richmond girls in a bid to beat the army team on a wet and windy afternoon. Camberley kicked to open the game and from the start dominated, showing little or no signs of a team who had never played together before. Good strong forwards play meant Camberley's dominance paid off with an opening try within the first 5 minutes of the game. Camberley continued to impose themselves on the opposition throughout the first 40 minutes with the backs being released to break the Sandhurst lines on several occasions. Good switch play and kicking by the Camberley 10 exploited the gap left by the Sandhurst Full Back, opening the opposition to further counter attacks. The half time score was 20 - 0 and reflected the play. Sandhurst kicked to start the second half and not for the first time failed to make the required ten metres, Camberley capitalised on these unforced errors to increase their lead during the opening 20 minutes of the second half. Using the whole width and breaking lines worked in Camberley's favour with the opposition wondering how to respond. Sandhurst won many of the line outs but didn't really threaten until the last fifteen minutes. Scrums had become uncontested and Sandhurst used this to their advantage to enjoy some time in Camberley's half. This was rewarded by a try and Sandhurst were awarded their 5 points of the game. However Camberley had done enough in the first 70 minutes to secure a comfortable victory, and it did not at any stage look like this was a game they would lose.
