Oxford gave new meaning to the phrase ‘winning ugly’ as they struggled past Cardiff University in the BUSA Women’s Premier Division on Wednesday. The Blues were clearly the better side, dominating posession and monopolising territory. Yet 70 minutes in they had yet to score. As they dropped passes, conceded penalties or chose poor options at critical moments. Their blushes were saved by Rhiannon Eevans, another Welsh representative, who crashed over after taking a quick penalty in the Cardiff 22, before Bethan Walsh made certain with a well taken penalty with 78 minutes gone.ARCHIVE: 6th week MT 2005
