Coach Jenny Beech said: “I am blown away by these kids today. They have only been playing together for six weeks and in that time they have become a force to be reckoned with.

“The only team able to beat them have been playing together for two years, and even then the deficit was a single try.”

The squad travels to Loughborough this weekend with high hopes of maintaining their stunning form.
