Penrith Panthers Ladies made their competitive debut in their first contact game of rugby on Friday night against Upper Eden Eagles.

Penrith Panthers Ladies made their competitive debut in their first contact game of rugby on Friday night against Upper Eden Eagles. The team was started a year ago and now boasts a training squad of over 30 players aged from 18 to 45, with new players arriving weekly. On Friday both clubs had squads of 22 players which is a great turnout by each side, 18 out of Penrith’s 22 have never played a game of rugby before. The game was a perfect opportunity to learn the game of rugby and gain some valuable experience before the season starts.
The Eagles started strongly taking advantage of the Panthers mistakes and scoring 4 quick tries in the first 10 minutes. The Panthers then managed to gain more possession and the game evened out. Both sides competed well and after a year and a half of not playing neither side shied away from the contact, with both teams putting some big tackles in. The Eagles continued to use their experience and kept scoring some well worked tries throughout the second half of the match. Penrith kept competing and for a new side put in an outstanding effort on their first outing! The game finished 49-0 to the Eagles. With Penrith being a new side, they have laid a great foundation to build on for the coming season, which is sure to be an exciting new venture for the ladies. Everyone at the club was proud of the effort and determination of the ladies and we all cannot wait for the next game on the 12th September. The future is very bright at Penrith RUFC!
