Hucknall swept to the women’s Championship 1 title at Liverpool today, comfortably defeating Tyldesley 13-7 in the winner-takes-all meeting of the top two.
They eased into a 4-0 lead in the early stages, including two goals by the division’s leading scorer India Wilkinson. Briefly, Tyldesley hit back to level at 5-5. But Hucknall went clear again in the third period, building a 9-6 lead with goals by Wilkinson, Lucy Rodgers and Giorgia Bosworth. Rodgers added three more in the final quarter.

Exeter meet Rotherham tomorrow in a match that will decide the third promotion place. The Devon side beat Caledonia 10-7, including three goals each for Jasmin Coleman and Amy Potter.
