“It’s an incredible feeling, to do it in front of the fans as well who have come down, it’s unreal,” she declared.

“I tried it [the shot], but it didn’t work so I was determined to do it again and it paid off.
“I think today just shows the resilience we’ve got to bounce back as a team and the group we are.”
