Abi Burton’s try three minutes from time clinched Trailfinders’ 21-17 Premiership Women’s Rugby victory over Harlequins at the Stoop.
The visitors had gone in front through Tanya Kalounivale, but Harlequins hit back through Connie Powell before half-time.
Nicole Wythe then nudged them in front following the restart, but Brooke Bradley scored quickly for Trailfinders who soon found themselves with a player advantage as Wythe was given a yellow card for a series of penalties.
The home side managed to regain the lead thanks to Beth Wilcock, but could not keep Burton out late on from close range and another Niamh Gallagher conversion followed with her perfect record on the night proving crucial.
Harlequins, who claimed a losing bonus point, have not won at home since late January and sit fifth in the PWR table, one place and one point below Friday’s victors.
