I've been slack so now we have some catching up to do learning all about the team. Hannah is one of the faster runners on the Lake squad - some say she's powered partly by the wing-like lashes she wears but I think if anything they would be a hinderance to her visual field. Hannah is a deceptive player, looking like she'd not be out of place on Love Island, but hitting like the spirit of Jonah Lomu lives within her.
Name: Hannah Ellis
Age: 22
Position: Wing

Yes it was on the common I was the first person there and very nervous

Finally, can we have two truths and one lie?
Hannah, you're a diamond and we're so lucky to have you, even if you sometimes spew your feelings out all over the team bus. We'll try to get a few more profiles out before the end of the league season, and look forward to finding some new members over the summer to join our squad next season!
