Darlington 20 Northwich 12
NORTHWICH slipped from the table’s summit after suffering a second successive defeat in RFU Women’s Championship North Two on Sunday.
Ormskirk, conquerors of Preston Grasshoppers the same day, replace them.
The top two meet at Moss Farm this Sunday, when a return to winning ways for the hosts will propel them back to first place.
They won 32-17 at Ormskirk in October.
A 20-12 reverse at the weekend follows a 49-0 loss at Carlisle in their final fixture before Christmas.
