Glasgow Warriors 17-33 Brython Thunder: Report
- Published
Brython Thunder climbed above Glasgow Warriors in the Celtic Challenge standings as they won 33-17 at Scotstoun.
The Welsh visitors raced into a 14-0 lead thanks to a double from Welsh international Gwen Crabb, both being converted by Niamh Terry.
Briar McNamara got one back for the hosts, converting her own try, before Ellie Tromans extended Thunder's lead just before the break. Hannah Marshall added the extras, that time.
Glasgow were the first to strike in the second half through former Scotland winger Abi Evans but the visitors asserted their dominance on the scoreline through Rosie Carr.
Roma Fraser's phenomenal solo try threatened to set up a tense finale as Glasgow got within nine points, but again the Thunder would find a response.
A few penalties marched them up the pitch and with the final set-piece of the game, Crabb crashed over for her hat-trick.
The result gives Thunder just their second win of the tournament - their other win coming against Edinburgh - while Glasgow remain rooted to the bottom of the rankings.
