“First of all well done to both sides” Manger Lyon told us. “It was a very hot afternoon but both teams will have got somethng out of it. For us, obviously, Yasmin getting a hat-trick is fantastic but there were plenty of other strong performances and the newer faces are starting to fit in nicely, the senior players are setting the tone and all of the youngsters are doig really well.

“The scoreline isn’t the key thing, it’s all about putting ideas into action and we can be really pleased with how we played today.”
