LIVERPOOL PUSH MANCHESTER ALL THE WAY
City of Manchester defeated Liverpool Lizards 14-10 to confirm their fourth consecutive women’s Super 5s title today – a record achieved without dropping a single point.
In fact, such has been Manchester’s dominance that their run of wins in BWPL Division 1 and Super 5s games now stretches to a remarkable FIFTY-ONE!
Their last defeat? A single goal reverse in January 2022 - to Liverpool.
Liverpool, led by five-goal Katie Brown, pushed Manchester all the way today. They were level at 9-9 at the start of the final period, at which point Manchester responded with a rapid five-goal blast.
Defeat for Liverpool meant that Cheltenham, 8-6 winners against Sheffield Sharks, finished their excellent first Super 5s campaign as runners-up.
In the men’s competition, champions Manchester completed their programme with a 15-13 defeat of Polytechnic. Penguin take second place after beating Welsh Wanderers 16-12. See News page.
