Rugby Schoolgirls reach last eight in National Cup

The girls were in fine spirits despite the treacherous travel conditions, dominating possession from the outset and spending the first half camped in the Cornwall half without finding a way through; Erin coming closest hitting the post just before half-time.

Rugby's girls started the second half as they ended the first, piling the pressure on and found their reward with a fine finish from Sophia. East Cornwall found their way back into the game to setup a nervy finish with the game level at 1-1.

Rugby were awarded a generous penalty by the Cornish official, but Violeta stepped up with nerves of steel to give the girls the lead. The game was put to bed shortly after with Heidi exploiting a mistake in the Cornish defence to give the Rugby Girls a 3-1 victory.
