In what turned out to be an almost sevens match with 2 Littleborough girls playing for the opposition, the contest though one sided in score was actually fought in a hugely competitive nature.

Once the home side scored through captain Chloe Boardman as she ghosted down the left wing, they would not surrender the lead again. 7

In part that was owed to the work of Talismanic Erin Stott, who turned the opposite sick with her mesmerising bursts and scintillating pace. The 16 year old collected a hat-trick by the close of the second quarter. 28

The rest of coach Danny Lawlor's team were determined to join in on the fun when Grace Shepherd danced her way through the Old Crocs defence, before good work from Niamh Mullins set up Boardman for a second; this time down the right. Mullins also deserved plaudits for a stunning conversion of Shepherd's try in blustery spring conditions. 40

3 tries for the visiting Old Crocs narrowed the lead and made everyone in attendance wonder if they just might stage an almighty comeback. 40-15

However, a few minutes later nerves were calmed as diminutive Maisie Webb who had been quiet to this point outpaced Stott (now playing for Old Crocs) to touch down for another. 47-15

In the 4th quarter and with the scoreboard showing a healthy 47-15 lead to the hosts, it would have been easy for Littleborough's Pink Warriors to step off the gas.

However when Holly Rothwell found herself with space on the outside to outpace the defence, their was no going back.

Team mate Stott who had returned from her stint for Old Crocs crossed for Boro's forth after Boardman had done the damage and opened up the gap.

In the final action of a breathless afternoon's entertainment, a great crunching tackle from Megan Greenwood helped Nayab Mehak turn over the ball and she supplied the ever grateful Shepherd.
