Bradford’s Georgina Roberts helped England A to lift the European Trophy.
They defeated hosts Spain 5-3 in a tight final at La Coruna, England only taking the lead in the last minute of the game through a try by Lichfield No 8 Sarah Hunter.
England A head coach Mike Barnett, formerly of Otley, said: “It was a tense, heart-stopping game, and we were on the edge of our seats for most of the match, but in the end we pulled through and sealed the victory.
“The whole point of this campaign for us was to give the players a tough experience and we certainly got that. Our experienced girls played really well and they helped bring on our younger players, and that experience is going to be invaluable to them.”
