Match Report
West Wales

By Ian Golden at Glamorgan Wanderers
East Wales won the first ever Wales Rugby League Women’s Origin game, beating West 32-6 in hot conditions.
It was a difficult game for both sides with onfield temperatures nearing 30 degrees. With the most important aspect of this game being it was the next step in the trial process to play for Wales, the decision was made to play the game in four 15 minute quarters.
East Wales took the lead on four minutes. Joeann Maguire getting an unconverted try in the corner.
Charley Mundy’s 24th minute try doubled the lead. Kathryn Salter added the extras this time to put East 10-0 up.
WRU international Raf Taylor ran in under the sticks for a try back for West Wales on the half hour. Leanne Burnell converted.
A fantastic 50 metre run from winger Zoe Lewis extended East’s lead three minutes into the second half. Shaunni Davies converted.
Carys Rhiannon soon stormed through for East’s fourth. Davies converted again.
Lewis ran in her second try early in the second quarter with Davies again converting.
Finally, Maguire set up Helena Michel for East’s sixth and final score that went unconverted.
