Newly promoted Vagabonds continue to find the pace tough in Womens Championship North Two as they lost 43-15 to Manchester at Ballafletcher.
A fast start for the visitors had them well ahead early on and, despite tries from Rachel Beckley and Sorrelle Williams, Vagas trailed 38-10 with just over half an hour to play.
Improved defence in the closing stages limited Manchester to just one additional try with Williams picking up her second at the other end for some consolation.
