The formidable challenge of tackling matches against City of Manchester and Penguin on the same day proved too much for Welsh Wanderers in the men’s Super 5s at Ponds Forge today.
They went down 13-6 to Manchester, who are chasing their fifth title and, later on, were beaten 20-15 by Penguin, for whom Paul Sindone and Tilemachos Pissas both scored four.

In the women’s Super 5s, Cheltenham hit back superbly in the final stages to clinch an 11-8 victory over Sheffield Sharks. Anna Miller’s fifth goal had given Sharks at 8-5 lead midway through the third period, but Cheltenham then took charge, pulling up to 8-8 by the start of the last and then breaking clear with strikes by Charlotte Turpin, Vicki Hawkins and – with her fifth of the game - Bella Balzaretti.
Earlier, Manchester were too strong for Sheffield Sharks, winning 15-5, including three goals each for Izzy Howe, Rosie Huck and Brooke Tafazolli. It was just as straightforward for Liverpool Lizards, 16-1 winners against Hucknall.
