The game kicked off with Lochaber taking an early lead, as Lyndsay Waterson powered through the Dundee defence to score the opening try.
Emily Brown, showing composure under pressure, successfully converted the try to give Lochaber a 7-0 lead.
Lyndsay was at it again soon after, crossing the try line for her second, further extending Lochaber’s advantage.
However, Dundee responded strongly, scoring a try of their own to narrow the gap. The first half concluded with Dundee on the scoreboard at 12-5, keeping the game tightly contested.
As the second half unfolded, Dundee came out with renewed energy, scoring two quick tries to take control of the match.
The game was increasingly physical, with some hard challenges on the pitch, but Lochaber refused to back down, continuing to give their all despite the numerical disadvantage.
In the end, while Lochaber couldn’t manage to get the win, their determination earned them a bonus point, keeping them top of the table.
It was a valiant performance from the Lochaber side, who, with only 16 players, still put up a proper fight against a tough Dundee team.
Final Score: Lochaber Women 12 – Dundee Valkyries 15.
A spirited performance from Lochaber, who should be proud of their effort. The ladies now have a well earned break before heading south for a game against Leith on February 23.
