Littleborough Pink Warriors Ladies returned to action with a changed side, including some players finding themselves in unfamilar positions, at Colne and Nelson.

The visitors undeterred and more than awake to the challenge opened the scoring through Hannah Mills, who while scoring a great individual try, also added the conversion. The young back ensuring this would be a senior debut never to forget.

East Lancashire based Colne and Nelson bounced back as they took control of possession and field position with two tries to carry a narrow 10-7 lead.

Playing at centre, Littleborough's Sarah Jane Whittles powered through a few tacklers to score for a 12-10 lead. This was extended by flanker Summer Harris who burned their defence with speed to give the half time score line of 17-10 to the Pink Warriors.

Seven changes made at half time by the visitors disrupted the flow of the game as it took time for Boro to settle into the pattern of the game again. There was some frustration within the performance, but the ladies eventually would settled and took full control.

Further tries from the likes of older sister Olivia Turner and another debutant Georgia Turner saw Littleborough hold with plenty to spare.

Littleborough Pink Warriors are next in action at local rivals Oldham next Sunday, 24th of February.
