It was close throughout the match with the teams exchanging touchdowns.

Liz O’Brien was proving elusive for Rapid as was Sally Harris for McDonald Lawson.
The duo orchestrated the attack for their respective sides.
McDonald Lawson hit the lead at 6-5 before Rapid levelled the scores with a couple of minutes remaining.
With not long to go, Harris ran from half and linked up with Thomas whom planted the ball down over the scoreline for the win.
