Hampshire registered six tries at the home of English rugby on their way to retaining the silverware, coming from Nina Hoadley (2), Abigail Pearson, Carol-Ann Tennant and Cerys Ralph, Rose Brown.

Hampshire started strongly through full back Pearson beating her opposite number after just three minutes, centre Rose Brown (Trojans) converting to try.

After a sustained period of attack, Rose found a gap to cross the try line and then converting her own try, making it 14 - 0.

Durham got one back through Tamsin Thompson, captain Marguerite Julia converted.
Hampshire's third try came just before half-time with Carol-Ann, conversion hit the post.
Durham struck back seven minutes after half-time for Jess Clabby to score, conversion was missed.
Hampshire took the penalty quickly and Nina scored, with Rose converting. Cerys scored the fifth and ten minutes from time Rose added a penalty before Nina scored her second try, with Rose converting again.

This means the Hampshire Women had won two years in a row, both special but Sunday's game was even better, as they were playing at Twickenham.
