Edinburgh held off a Brython Thunder fightback at Hive Stadium to secure their second victory in as many Celtic Challenge matches.

First-half tries from Sam Taganekurukuru, Hannah Walker and Cieron Bell gave the hosts a commanding half-time lead, before Hannah Lane hit back for the Welsh side after the break.

Bell then crossed for her second try to keep Thunder at arms-length and secure Edinburgh a try-scoring bonus point.

Two tries from Thunder centre Hannah Bluck gave the visitors hope, but Edinburgh held on to take all five points.
