Harrogate IIs take rivals West Park IIs by storm with a one sided eleven try victory in a 63-5 encounter at The Sycamores in league action.
Harrogate blossomed in their local derby clash with nine players’ crossing over the white wash in their highest scoring game since joining the league earlier in the year.
Showing dominance upfront, Kirstie Plummer was first to mark the score board with an unstoppable carry seeing her over the line for an unconverted try.
Creating great attacking play, Izzy Harris used her quick footwork to open up some space for the confident Harrogate outfit to attack through the back line.
Before the half time break, Harrogate secured a convincing 22 point lead through scores from Caroline Cockshott, Sarah Pritchard and Caitlin Washington with two points from the boot of Celine Almond.
Back from the break, the visitors raised the tempo as Apolline Cahierre opened up the attack with two storming runs fending off defenders to add a further ten points to the board.
Closing in on 55 minutes of exciting rugby, the hosts had their first and last play that ended across the try line to trail 32-5.
Harrogate continued with strength through try stopping tackles from Cockshott, fearless hand offs from Almond and striking carries from Katie Thompson.
Former West Leeds player Helena Dudhil added her name to the score board along with Harris, Cockshott, Hannah Wicks and a penalty try for Almond to secure an impressionable 63-5 Harrogate victory.
Players of the match were awarded to forward, Chantelle Edwins, back of the match Izzy Harris and Coaches player, Kirstie Plummer.
