Ryan Keane and Ben Owen both went over early on for Bedians, a penalty extended the lead and a Jim Whyte try saw the Manchester side 22-0 in front.

Vagas finally arrived at the party and a penalty try saw them turn around trailing 22-7. Steve Gawne’s try, converted by Johnny Beckley was the only score in the second half.

Vagas Ladies came out 38-36 on top in a high scoring affair at Leigh.

Vagas were 21-7 up at half time and hung on in the face of a fierce fightback.

Isla Curphey went in twice for Vagas as did the ageless Rachel Beckley.
