Last Saturday, October 24th the Budd Bay Bandits had a great win against the Portland RFC Women's team in Lacey, WA. Bandits collaborated to dominate the Piglets 69-5. Kaya Wilcox played well with 1 try and two drop kick conversions. Both of which earned her the "Man of the Match" title. In the opening minutes of the game, Nic Munson and Sam Elmore wasted no time in getting the ball across the line and paving the way for the Bandit's success. That makes two great victories in a row for the Budd Bay senior women and a fantastic finally to their playing season. Go Bandits!
