LEIGH RMI Ladies defeated Manchester Stingers 6-3.

Leigh opened brightly and took the lead when Simone Robinson floated the ball over the Manchester keeper from 30 yards out. Stingers equalised before Joanne Wood fired home from the edge of the box. Poor RMI marking brought another equaliser before goals by Luo Sumner and Wood made it 4-2. A penalty closed the gap to 4-3 but second half goals from Sumner and Nicola Jones gave Leigh their victory.
