Chiswick RFC, Sunday
FEATHERSTONE booked a quick Super League return as they fought back from ten points down.
London Broncos, unbeaten during the regular season, looked on course to reach the promised land for the first time in their history thanks to tries from Sian McLaughlin and Nicole Kennedy inside the opening quarter of an hour.
But Rovers put those early setbacks behind them and dug in on a wet afternoon in south-west London, with Lydia Fawkes and Ellie Lamb getting them back into the contest before late tries from Brogan Kennedy and Alyssa Courtney sealed the win and promotion back to the top flight after relegation last year.
