But, the visitors were not without having to defend their own try line with show stopping tackles from Lauren Clarkson ending some marginal Sheffield hopes of glory.

Before the final whistle, Harrogate added a further two tries through the hands of whippet Lauren Bolger following great attacking play from Christine Pratt, Izzy Harris and Nieve Jones.
