North Wales got off to an impressive start when captain Yasmin Leung (Caernarfon) broke through the East defence to score within 30 seconds. The second came from Brynhyfred School’s Hannah Hughes and the third try came from Colwyn Bay player Jade Pickering, which was followed shortly after by Elin Jones (Pwhelli) who turned the ball over in a tackle and broke through.
The North kept the pressure on throughout the first 15 minutes and scored five more tries before the break, the last coming from Nant Conwy player Lois Ellis.
East regathered well after half-time and a barrage of attack resulted in a score for the East, who were lead superbly by Captain Amy Williams of Caerphilly. The North responded to this improved performance and
came back with a tries from fullback Jessica McDonald of Llandudno and hooker Glain Gryffyth (Caernarfon).
Strong defence by East players Emily Smith (Croesyceliog), Emma Mansfeild (Bettws) and Sophie Taylor (Chepstow) made the last few minutes a very even contest as East showed great improvement as the game progressed. The final score was North Wales 13 – East Wales 1.
