Katie Cooper Birkenhead added five goals and a player of the match performance to her name for the day. Normanton’s try scorer was Katie Hepworth and Marie Colley earned a deserved player of the match award.
The West Craven v Brighouse game was called off at 56 minutes because of a player injury, the score at the time was West Craven 8-28 Brighouse, we are waiting for clarification on whether the score the stand or the match will be replayed. In the meantime we hope the injury is not serious and the player recovers quickly.
