The second round of the Women’s Premiership League got underway Sunday, with the Washington Furies and Beantown going head to head in Manassas, VA. The Furies sought a second win of the season, eager for a ‘W’ over Beantown. However, the Boston team took home a 34-7 victory, solidifying their second place standing in the Blue Conference.
It was a wet, chilly day, but the rain held at bay for the majority of the Furies-Beantown game. Shortly into the first half Beantown made a break to put the first points on the board, setting the score 5-0. The Furies wasted no time in responding. The Washington offense marched down the field until prop Tiffany Smith took the ball over the try line. A successful conversion put the Furies in the lead, 7-5. Again Beantown took the lead with quick try following the restart. The rain picked up, increasing the number of penalties for knock-ons. Wings and fullbacks kept busy fielding impressive kicks from Jessica Shipley and Kelly Seary, flyhalf for DC and Beantown respectively. The home team were persistant on offense, working together to gain terriotory, but were unable to win any more points. Beantown exploited gaps in the defense to drive up the score through the second half, ending the game 34-7.
