LIVERPOOL STUNNER!
City of Manchester teams experienced decidedly mixed fortunes on the second day (20 January) of the Super 5s at Aldershot.
The men had no difficultly completing their second win, easing to a 16-7 success against Cheltenham. But Manchester's girls suffered an extraordinary reversal, losing 11-10 to Liverpool Lizards - after cruising to a 7-1 lead! Liverpool scored five times in the final quarter to steal the points.
Manchester and Invicta, 13-1 winners against Lancaster, were the only men's teams to take maximum points from two games, champions Solihull losing to both Invicta and Cheltenham.
Otter, 10-6 winners against Coventry in the women's Super 5s, followed up with a 16-4 victory over Caledonia, making the London side the only team not to drop at least a point. In women's Championship 1, Hucknall are the early leaders after winning three matches at Newport. See News and Results pages for more details.
