Seymour 24 - Rochester 41
The girls knew it would be a tough game against a strong Rochester outfit and unfortunately the game just didn't go their way from the start. Play evened up in the second half with both teams fighting fiercely for possession of the ball.
In what was a physically demanding game with lots of speed, the young Lions showed lots of potential.
