Lucy Blenkinsop scored five as City of Manchester launched their defence of the women's League title with a runaway 20-6 victory over Coventry at Ponds Forge, Sheffield, today. Also in Division 1, Otter defeated Hucknall 18-7, including a five-goal haul by Rebecca Mulcahy.
Penguin Emperors' return to the top division ended in defeat at the first attempt - 15-10 to Liverpool Lizards.
In Division 2, Exeter trailed Tyldesley 4-2 after the first period but hit back to win 10-7. Maisie Standen (4), Elsie Graves (3) and Holly Campbell (3) were the leading scorers for Mid Sussex Marlins, 14-8 winners against Rotherham Metro.
In an excellent start to the women's Division 3 campaign, Watford edged out Kirkintilloch & Kilsyth 13-12 when a breakaway goal by Charlotte Winstanley - her fourth of the game - clinched the points 1.56 from the end.

But, for various reasons, the actual presentation wasn't possible until this weekend's event at Ponds Forge. Our picture shows League official Mike Hesketh (right) doing the honours.
