West Norfolk maintained their challenge at the top of the table when they beat Southwold 41-19 at Gatehouse Lane.

Sporting a new kit sponsored by MBW Listers Mini, West twice recovered from deficits to lead 24-12 at the interval.

Lakenham Lionesses travelled to Essex side Stanford Sirens with a full squad of 20 for their first game of 2019.

There was plenty of promising play from the visitors but it was Stanford who came out on top 32-5.

Lakenham's consolation try came in the second half when scrum-half Sophie Bambridge was stopped just short of the line and a quick pick-up saw the ball moved out to Dani Pluckrose to touch down. Charlotte Richardson was player of the match.
