El Toro RC v Shamrock RC girls match.
El Toro RC opened up the scoring early on and a good run of tries from Maria Jose Caballero and Paula Ballesta put them well ahead before the half time break.
Shamrock RC found it impossible to break through the defence and had yet to score. It was only in the fifty-fifth minute that Shamrock RC scored their first and only try whilst El Toro RC continued to clock up the points with the final try in the closing minutes of the game. A well fought and dominant game from the El Toro RC girls.
Baleares Senior League
Ibiza RC only just continued their winning streak with a close game against Shamrock RC in Can Misses on Saturday. Shamrock RC were short of substitutes making it a long match for their players, however they put up a good fight and scored well throughout the match.
The home team were quick off the mark to score their first converted try after only a couple of minutes.
The visitors followed shortly afterwards with two penalty kicks, and the match continued with good defence and attempts to push for points from both teams.
The score by half time was a close 20 points to 16 after Shamrock RC were awarded a penalty try at 40 minutes. The ref gave two yellow cards to Ibiza RC players; dirty play and attitude towards the referee which gave Shamrock RC ten minutes with a two player advantage and which they tried to make the most of.
A tough, second half followed with Ibiza RC just staying ahead. Both teams scored three more tries, but it was the penalty kick for Ibiza RC that made the final difference and the score finished at 40 points to 35.
In the derby between RC Ponent and El Toro RC, both teams made use of a few of the Babarians XV who were on a rest weekend.
