A tough and physical contest in challenging conditions, with the heat and firm ground making it a real battle. Despite being stretched at times, the squad showed great resilience and heart throughout.

The effort never dropped, and it was fitting to see the team finish the season with a big try to close things out.

Congratulations to Rochford on winning the league and best of luck to them for next season.

A season full of commitment, growth, and togetherness — plenty to be proud of.

Players of the match
A big shift from Ruth who was awarded Player of the match and Forward of the match on her last game as captain.

Sarah was awarded Back of the match on her last game for Crusaders, she has been a consistent player all season, but she shone through today and showed real guts to play through on an injury.
