Stuart Clarke, the girls coach, said: “I am extremely proud of all of the girls. They have once again shown that hard work and dedication to training pays off.

"I must admit I didn’t think it would be possible to win for the third year running – but we did it.

"The girls are really pleased and are already raring to go for their next tournament.”

The team will now progress to the national finals where they will represent the north of England.
