Rotherham Metro were the only team to complete the first weekend of matches in women's Championship 2 at Walsall with two victories. Emily Crossley's five goals ensured a 13-6 victory over English Roses; then Emma Jackson netted four in a 17-8 defeat of Otter Lutra.
Fifteen-year-old Charlotte Martin, of Cheltenham, found herself very much the centre of attention as Cheltenham came from behind to defeat Otter Lutra 6-5..
Early in the final period, the London side edged into a 5-4 lead thanks to a goal by Lindsey Williams. Almost immediately, Martin equalised, but then conceded a penalty – which Otter missed. The Cheltenham winner came with more than four minutes still to play – thanks, once again, to Martin.
