For the hosts, Georgi Wood linked well with the forward line of Hannah Yoward, Kerry Woods and Jenna Allinson.

After half-time, the visitors piled on the pressure with numerous penalty corners but Jane Elsworth and Wendy Watson ensured keeper Milburn was protected.

With just three minutes to go, Rachel Roberton found a diving Woods to deflect the ball home to give the Tangerines all three points and lift them to fifth place.
