WRU Women’s Division One:
Penybanc 12
Haverfordwest 13

Haverfordwest Ladies RFC kept their promotion hopes alive with a nail biting away win over leaders Penybanc on Sunday.

When the two sides met last September, Haverfordwest went down 36-19, and they went behind in the opening 10 minutes on Sunday after a sluggish start.

But they soon got a foothold in the game when returning centre Stephanie Harris converted a period of sustained pressure with a try.
Joanna Price missed the conversion but slotted over a penalty to make it 8-5 at the interval.

Penybanc’s pacy backs ensured a second try and a conversion for the home side, and they piled on the pressure when Haverfordwest went down to 14 players on two occasions. 

But Harris’ partner in the centre Awen Prysor powered through to score in the corner and seal a great win.

Harris was named player of the match.

Haverfordwest coach Ben John said the team showed “awesome character to get the result.”

Haverfordwest Ladies squad: Natasha Thomas, Maria Phillips, Louisa Weinfeld, Katie Lewis, Natalie Bowen, Rhianon Howells, Ceri Coleman-Phillips, Delyth Foster, Lyn Egelstaff, Rhian Perry, Nina Colville, Joanna Price, Awen Prysor, Stephanie Harris, Lisa Neumann, Clodagh Llewhellin, Emily Carrington, Jess Apperley.
