INJURY-HIT Supermarine Ladies were forced to travel to Nottingham Casuals with just 14 players and were beaten 27-14.

After only arriving five minutes before kick-off, the lack of preparation was apparent as Notts scored an unconverted try in the first five minutes, adding two more before the break.

Marine upped the pace in the second half, prop Sarah Allen crossing for her first league try and flanker Claire Chard adding the other, Notts also adding two more touchdowns.
