Fortunately, Supermaine upped the pace in the second half, with excellent rucking by the forwards which provided a platform for the backs to run in three tries.

Centre Heidi Jelleyman touched down, fly-half Rachael Scholes and winger Lucy Strong, with her first try for the club, also touching down.

Supermarine have a break this weeked and are away to Southampton Trojans the following Sunday.
