LICHFIELD Women found newly-promoted Bury St Edmunds a tough nut to crack as they fell to a 36-17 home defeat.

The first half was equal overall, with Amy Edmondson helpng herself to two tries  
either side of two from the Suffolk side.

Molly Draycott – who limped off in the first half affecting the backs’ potency – converted one.

But Bury St Edmunds then drove well through their forwards, while their breakdown play was top drawer, allowing their backs to show their abilities.

Edmondson notched a third near the end with head coach Tim Westwood contemplating a season of rebuilding after the migration of six players to Leicester Tigers during the summer.

Elsewhere, the 2nds also suffered a loss as they went down 35-28 at Aston Old Edwardians after a see-saw game was won in the final seconds with a converted try.

Lichfield’s scorers were Alyssa Thor (3) and Monique Adcock, with fly half Isabelle Davies converting all four.
