Hertfordshire's very own England Ladies Pauline Taylor and Jill Oakes were in action last weekend in a fixture against the England Under-21 team at Daventry.

After a sluggish first session the England Ladies trailed 4-8 before levelling at 14-14 with a much better second session.  The third session was dominated by the Ladies 10-2 and they held on to finish the match 32-24 ahead.

You can follow the progress of the England Ladies team on their brand new Facebook page Facebook/ESMBALadies.  Next fixture is a match against Cambridgeshire in a few weeks.

Hertfordshire players were also active in the annual ESMBA President vs England match.
