OTTER LEAVE IT LATE

6/11/2016

 
Picture
Otter Lutra trailed for much of their women's Division 2 derby clash with West London Penguin at Plymouth Life Centre until a late rally secured an 8-7 win - and retained their 100 per cent record at the top of the table.

​Penguin looked on course for victory when a backhand goal from pit forward Fiona Geer improved their lead to 7-4 late in the third period. But Otter dominated the final quarter, scoring through Katie Cutler (2), Heather Keith and Emma Shkurka to take the points.

​Fleur Kennedy (7) and Lucy Shaw (5) were leading scorers for Liverpool Liver Birds, who outplayed home club Devonport Royal 20-5. Two of Welsh Wanderers' youngest players - Emma Gillie and Amy Potter - both score four as their team beat Tyldesley 14-5. And Manchester Comets cruised to a 15-4 win against Mid Sussex Marlins.

​In women's Division 3 at Walsall, Claire O'Sullivan scored the winner for Birmingham - 8-7 against Polytechnic. Leeds Hammerheads relaxed too soon against Southampton as their 10-6 lead was cut late on as their opponents scored through Amy Ennion, Sarah Rogers and Rachael Mell. But Leeds held out for a 10-9 win, which means that they and Liverpool Water Beatles - runaway 26-7 winners against Sheffield Stingrays - go into the final weekend of the first phase with perfect records from five games.

​Andrea Norris notched six for English Roses, who floored Sunderland 21-3.

Mum Lindsey was busy helping her team to their narrow victory over Penguin when this picture was taken. The other bench members (L-R) are: Heather Keith, Isabel Keith, Sarah Connolly, Catherine Freeman and Nahn van Wyn.
