And a win from their first match

After an excellent first season in the Tyrrells Premier 15s, Harlequins Ladies are up and running this year with a 38-24 victory away at Gloucester-Hartpury.

The West Country side, who lost to eventual champions Saracens in last season’s semi-finals, opened the scoring on six minutes when Sasha Acheson crashed over in the corner, but soon found the score level due to a penalty try.
Millie Wood then touched down to put Gloucester-Hartpury 14-7 up before Shaunagh Brown responded for Quins and Rachael Burford danced into the corner – creating a half-time 19-14 lead for the visitors.

Leah Lyons extended the lead after the break and Gloucester-Hartpury registered second-half tries from Acheson and Kelly Smith, but Harlequins – who lost in the final last term – proved too powerful as Chloe Edwards helped herself to a decisive double.
