By London Broncos Women

A Dominating Performance

The Broncos delivered a commanding performance at Heywood Road. They defeated the league leaders Swinton Lionesses 6-34. This victory moved them to the top of the table for the first time this season.

The Broncos made an assertive start in the first half. They crossed the whitewash several times, seizing control early on. Tries from Hunt-Pain, Bell, Cairns, Smart, and King set the tone. The Broncos showcased incisive attacking play and resolute defense, keeping Swinton on the back foot.

London dominated both possession and territory. They forced Swinton into repeated errors and capitalized on the resulting opportunities. Just before the break, the Lionesses responded through Pritchard, who produced a long-range effort against the run of play.
