Beantown RFC had its first game of the 2022 Women’s Premier League last weekend on the West coast. In a close game, it was Life West Gladiatrix that came out ahead by a score of 17-10. Beantown salvaged a losing bonus point despite the loss.
Despite the loss, head coach Christopher Mutty was upbeat. “Really good match despite the conditions…..We really showed what we can do at the set piece and our defense was phenomenal”.
Mutty can see the possibilities for the future: “(we) have some work to do on attack and converting scoring opportunities into points”.
Beantown gets another opportunity on the road again this weekend against Atlanta on April 24th. Atlanta suffered a big loss at home in its first game, losing 51-0 to Berkeley, so you would think there are opportunities to get some points on the board before Beantown’s home opener April 30th.
UPDATE 4/21/22: Beantown will not travel to Atlanta, as Atlanta cannot field a complete team. Good for Beantown. Not so good for the League, which now has three forfeits in the first three weeks, by two teams.
