The Glasgow side ran out 53-19 winners over the Sirens, who won promotion last season
Stewartry Sirens travelled to Cartha Queen’s park for their first game of the SRU Women’s Premiership season on Saturday.
It took 10 mins for Cartha to score their first try. With the new tackle law in place, there was a significant increase in the number of penalties being awarded as Sirens players tried to adapt. The pattern was set and Cartha appeared to have a simple plan of playing tap penalties and running at the defensive line then trusting their second-phase support runners to move the ball wide. If that, failed play appeared to come back to an earlier infringement.
The second half started as the first finished with Cartha moving further ahead with another couple of tries before Phaedra Snailham intercepted a pass that she scored, giving the Sirens their first points of the new season with the conversion kicked by Lisa Ritchie.
