Friends ace off

Army teammates went head-to-head on the international stage as Wales took on Scotland in Neath.  

Bdr Bethan Dainton (RA) captained the hosts against a Scottish team that was making its test match debut and included Cpl Kaiya Glynn (RAMS) and LCpl Charlotte Hill (RLC, pictured) in the ranks.  

The contest appeared to be heading for a draw as the score was locked at 12-12 with just two minutes remaining, but player of the match Dainton produced a moment of magic to crash over at the death and give her side an 18-12 victory.  

“We play against a lot of those girls week in, week out and knew it would be tough,” she said. “Those are the games we want.”

Dainton led Wales in a 62-0 loss to England a week later.
