Dominant Day for Cross & Buckingham Swans
|
The Buckingham Swans Whites Rugby Women’s team delivered a sensational performance at the Buckingham Rugby Club, securing a comprehensive and clinical 76-5 victory over the Handsworth Ladies.
The win was built on an overwhelming attacking display from the Swans, who ran riot against the visitors from the first whistle to the last.
Leading the charge and putting in a significant shift for the home side was Sarah Cross, who watched her teammates tear through the Handsworth defence with apparent ease.
From the opening exchanges, the Buckingham Swans Whites looked sharp and intent, establishing control across the pitch. Their ability to turn over possession and execute fluid, high-tempo attacking plays resulted in a flurry of tries that Handsworth struggled to contain.
While Handsworth managed to register a solitary score, the sheer speed and intensity of the Swans’ offence proved too much to handle, resulting in a final scoreline of 76-5.
The huge win marks a highly successful outing for Cross and the Swans, who will take significant momentum and confidence from this performance into their upcoming fixtures.

Hodgkins’ Pacific Pride Win 13-Try Exhibition Thriller
|
Bermudian rugby player Jamin Hodgkins and his Pacific Pride teammates were involved in a high-scoring exhibition match, defeating a touring Seattle side 57-36 at the Juan de Fuca Grounds in Colwood in Canada. The game, played in the style of a developmental exhibition, was a showcase of attacking rugby with a total of 13 tries scored.
The match was characterized by strong offensive play from both teams, with defence taking a backseat. While Seattle excelled in the tight close-quarter phases and at the maul, the Pride found their strength out wide, where their expansive game looked particularly dangerous.
The battle at the scrum saw a distinct change between the halves. Seattle held the advantage in the first half, but the Pacific Pride reserves overturned that dominance in the second, securing the advantage once the replacements came on.
However, the Pride struggled in a crucial area: the breakdown. Seattle was effective at poaching loose balls, and the Pride conceded too many penalties at the ruck area—a clear focus area for their next training sessions.
Overall, the match provided valuable experience in a high-tempo environment, confirming that the Pride are a formidable attacking unit, especially when they can move the ball to the wings.

Cross Scores Twice But Buckingham Swans Suffer Defeat
|
Sarah Cross led the scoring effort for the Buckingham Swans Whites, but her side ultimately fell to a heavy 61-29 defeat against West Bridgford Ladies in the Women's Championship Rugby North 1 Division.
Despite the comprehensive loss, the match saw a standout individual performance from the Bermudian. Cross was the primary attacking threat for the Swans, personally accounting for ten of her team’s points. She crossed the line twice on the day, scoring two tries to lead the Buckingham Swans Whites' scoring.
The result is a difficult one for the Buckingham Swans Whites as they navigate the highly competitive league. Cross’s ability to breach the West Bridgford defence twice, however, shows her continuing impact and attacking potency for the squad.
