Here are the rest of the Women's NC 1 East results from the weekend.
The RFU website is currently showing that Ipswich Women drew 0-0 with Colchester Iceni, but I'm hearing that it was a 34-5 win for Colchester.
I'm not saying that I don't trust the RFU, but I'm going with ny other sources 🙂.

Tough day at the office.
Blues bow out of the cup 0 - 57 against a very good Buckingham Swans II's team, including a world cup winner in their front row!
The scoreline flattered Bucks, but there is no doubt that they deserved to win today.
We drop into the plate competition.
