The Lions can be pleased with their efforts after a quick start which saw Hlobisile Mbatha dot down in the opening exchanges.

At the break the scoreboard read 12-12 with both teams well in the contest.

It was only in the final 10 minutes that the Dames secured a victory as tries for Aseza Hele, Rocha Madyah, Veroeshka Grain and Rufaro Tagarira did the damage.

A second half comeback against the Free State Women allowed Western Province to register their fourth win of the season.

With their only loss coming against the Bulls, the Cape Town side are places second in the eight team competition.

Owami Mohuli and Kamohelo Makoele’s scores handed Free State the lead at the halfway stage.

Shortly after the second half got underway Babalwa Latsha, Voice Ndou and Logan Welman dotted down to hand Jongi Nokwe’s team a 38-21 victory in Bloemfontein.
