Hornettes returned from Ivel with an excellent 30-5 victory.

HORNETTES ladies travelled to Ivel and came away with an excellent 30-5 victory.

Ivel began the game better and scored in the corner to take a 5-0 lead. Almost straight from the re-start, Hornets drove upfield and gained a line-out and after several phases full-back Leanine Swansbury set up Kerrianne Williams to score in the corner.

More good play by the backs and Abbey Constable led to Williams scoring again for a 10-5 half-time lead.

After the break, Williams took a quick penalty to complete her hat-trick. Ivel hit back to put pressure on the visitors, but good defence kept them out. A good break out from defence saw Paul Wognarowsky touch down under the posts, converted by Emma Small.

A penalty by Small extended the lead and the last score was by Wognarowsky, who ran 65 metres to touch down.
