Northern Suburbs hooker – Janet Midecha was shown yellow by referee – Noreen Liyosi for not retreating after penalty. Her absence opened up her team to pilfering by Impala scrumhalf – Monica Mueni. Diana Kemunto’s attempted conversion went short. Impala’s attack proved too swift a force for Suburbs to keep up. It was not long before the referee flashed another yellow at Helen Achieng for dangerous tackle. Although her team was a resource less, Suburbs centre – Janet Kerubo took matters into her own hands, blasting her way past Impala defence. The attempted conversion went wide. Just before the half-time whistle blew, Impala’s Diana Kemunto scored. Her attempt at converting went unsuccessful.
HT: Impala Saracens Women 10-5 Northern Suburbs
Neither of the teams crossed each other’s try line in the second half. It was however an interesting one for Northern Suburbs to play in as at one point the team was reduced to 8. Two of their dependable players – Sheila Muindi & Janet Kerubo were sent to the sinners’ chair for dissent.
Impala are through to the semis. The team earlier on received a walk-over after BladBabes proved a no-show on this leg of the Festival.
