STT went ahead to humiliate Ho Technical University 46-13 on the same day after leading 25-6 at half timeC were exposed as they did not have a full complement of the players.
South Tongu Talents are now 4 points clear at the summit of the women table, with 8 points after 5 matches. Unique Stars follow with 4 points, while Ho Technical University lie 3rd with 2 points. Sonrise and Mawuko in that order are also with 2 points each whereas Mawuli occupy the bottom spot with no point.
