Lucy Lawford-Wilby was the match-winner as Old Albanian left it late to come from behind and beat Lichfield 12-7 in the Women’s Intermediate Cup.
A cagey first half saw just the one try scored, with Lichfield making the most of a two on one out wide as full-back Eleanor Udall set up wing Hattie Roberts to go over before Udall added the extras.
The second half was a similar story with very little to split the sides. Old Albanian got themselves on the board when Emily Eves’ pinpoint cross kick found Madelene Vaughan-Johncey, but an unsuccessful conversion attempt left Lichfield a nose in front.
Then, with just two minutes remaining, centre Lawford-Wilby struck, sneaking round the blind side undetected to dot down for a dramatic victory.
