The Denver Onyx continue their road trip, travelling to the Twin Cities to face the Gemini in Round 8 of WER’s inaugural season, just 5 days after facing the Boston Banshees in Rhode Island! The Onyx are coming off of a 7-25 win over the resilient Banshees, and are looking to remain undefeated. The TC Gemini are looking to bounce back after a 28-34 home loss to the New York Exiles in which they salvaged 2 bonus points.

This is the first ever meeting between these two sides in Women’s Elite Rugby.

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.

The Bay Breakers travel to the twin cities to face the Gemini in Round 6 of WER’s inaugural season!

The Breakers are coming off of a convincing victory over the New York Exiles and are on a 2-game in streak that includes a huge 66-12 victory over the Gemini in Round 3. The Gemini will be looking to get some revenge for that defeat, as that was their most recent game before this clash.

This time around it was a much lower scoring affair, with the Gemini indeed getting that revenge with a 17-12 home victory to even up the all-time series between these two sides.
