Manor Women hosted Heathfield for the second round of the Papa John’s Intermediate Cup, going ahead early with a try from Shammah down the wing. Heathfield answered almost immediately and it became clear this was going to be a tough day at the office. Libby broke through to take Manor 10-5 up with captain Lauren converting. Again Heathfield fought back to make it 12-10. Manor got into gear then and started to move the ball better - tries from Mille, Sophie Edwards and Tahnika took us to 27-10. A yellow card (Simbi taking one for the team) saw Heathfield back in the game, scoring two tries to take us to a nailbiting 27-20. The final whistle couldn’t come soon enough, with Manor Women triumphing. We now face Thurrock in the final 16 away on 1st December.
