Sale 1861 vs British Police

Match Report  Sale 1861 Women 24 British Women Police 32

The game began at a brisk pace with the Women Police running hard at the Sale 1861 team, it seemed that the more experienced side were going to get the upper hand in the early exchanges, as they ran hard lines at the 1861 defensive line, however with some resolute defending from the 1861 and their own ability to turn the possession over at regular intervals, they never seemed to let the occasion get to them.
