Newbury score impressive bonus point victory in last home match of the season.

In their last home game of the season, an impressive offloading display saw Newbury put five unanswered tries past the Dons.

With storm Freya descending, the conditions did nothing to hamper the Blues, who were determined to atone for the previous week’s defeat.

The first score of the day came from a period of concerted pressure, with Emma Swinton running in the try.

Scrum half Flo Piddington who looked dangerous all game with her sniping runs was next, with a mazy run from half way beating all would be defenders.

Blues third came from number eight Kat Smith, while their fourth was beautifully set up by forward of the match Lotti Cargen. Having spotted a weak shoulder, she darted through the defence, outpacing Wimbledon’s backs before selflessly offloading to the supporting Emma Robinson for the touch down.

With 15 minutes left, Blues looked for the bonus point, and found it through the ever powerful running of prop Becky Wilson.

Blues next face Cullompton away in their last league match of the season on March 17th, before their cup semifinal on March 24th.
