In NC North West ?, Vagabonds Ladies lost out to another Southport late flurry.

Southport snatched a draw at Ballafletcher in the final stages of the home match earlier in the season and a similar late burst secured victory on Saturday.

Two tries from Sophie Birchall and a conversion from Sammie MacDonald kept Vagas in touch and with 10 minutes to play they were just three points adrift at 15-12.

However, Southport bagged two late tries to clinch the game and put some gloss on the scoreboard.
