The Twin Cities Gemini host the New York Exiles during Round 7 of the inaugural season of Women’s Elite Rugby!

The Gemini are looking good after a tough, low scoring victory over the Bay Breakers last week for their 2nd win of the season, and are looking to build on that momentum. The Exiles are also coming off of a victory, defeating the Boston Banshees down in Quincy, and sit just ahead of the Gemini in the standings heading into this game. This marks the first meeting between these sides in the WER.

The Exiles came flying out of the games, scoring in the first minute and securing the try bonus point just after the half hour mark. The shell shocked Gemini got on the board just before half time through Samantha Black-Keels, before scoring the first two tries of the second half to make things interesting. Fortunately for the Exiles, they added another two scores either side of the 70 minute mark to seal the victory, but not before a Bianca Curtis try in the final minutes of play secure both bonus points for the Gemini, which could prove crucial.

Final score is 28-34 in favour of the New York Exiles.
