Harriett lifts ladies with a try treble

Chippenham Ladies maintained top spot in South West Division Three with a 29-0 victory over St Mary's.

The teams' last encounter proved to be controversial, resulting in an appeal to the RFU on the grounds of the refereeing.

The appeal was upheld, the RFU overturned the result, awarding a draw, and that set up a potentially difficult encounter for the sides on Sunday.

Chippenham, on the back of a recent defeat against Old Redcliffians, bounced back to play some of their best rugby of the season.

They put continuous pressure on St Mary's in both attack and defence.

St Mary's also produced some solid defensive work to frustrate Chippenham in the opening 15 minutes.

The home pressure eventually told, however, as Harriett Crockett went over the line.

Crockett went on to score another three tries, with full-back Charlotte Whitlam adding another, and Sam Morgan slotting two conversions for a comfortable victory.

IN their Premiership Two encounter, Supermarine Ladies lost to leaders Wasps 2nd 22-0.
