Bears secure play-off semi-final spot with win at Wasps
A 12-minute hattrick from second half substitute Lark Davies helped Bristol Bears Women on their way to a 22-41 win away against Wasps.
Meg Davies, Claire Molloy, Tilly Smale and Grace White were the other try-scorers as the Bears came back from a 17-10 deficit at the interval.
The victory secured a fourth place finish in the league which means that Dave Ward’s team will travel to Gloucester-Hartpury on Saturday for a West Country derby Premier 15s play-off semi-final.
