Undefeated Rotherham Metro remain in command of women’s Championship 2, but they had to battle all the way to clinch their latest victory at Northampton – 10-9 against Cheltenham.
The game was effectively settled in the third period when goals by Fliss Leighton (2), Amber Linney, Lucy Hobman and Emily Crossley took Metro from 3-3 to lead 8-4. But Cheltenham never gave up, surprising their opponents by reducing a 10-7 deficient to 10-9 as Charlotte Martin scored with more than a minutes still to play.
