Hannah Smith, pictured, scored the first and then Abi Evans grabbed a double, the second a 60-metre run by the Scotland cap.

With three minutes to go until half-time a Martin penalty reduced the arrears to 19-13.

Hills Sarah Smith then suffered a head injury as the referee blew for the break.

The second half started cagily, but in the 60th minute Wandies scored their second try of the day through Eilidh Sinclair. Helen Nelson converted and they had the lead 20-19.

With seven minutes to go Martin added another penalty for Wandies, but two minutes later Hills regained the lead thanks to a well-worked try by Hannah Smith. Rachel Cook converted and it was 26-23 to the Glasgow side.
