Lincoln Ladies' 2nd XV once again joined forces with Gainsborough Ladies as they took part in an Inner Warrior Series tournament at Southwell.

Lincoln played two thirty-minute matches against Market Rasen and Southwell.

Although both games ended in defeat, the players worked hard for each other throughout and, at times, stopped the other team with some great defence.

After the tournament Lincoln Ladies Coach Sam Hogan said: "We welcomed new players and some returning ones. Team cohesion was evident from the first minute to the last.

"We have areas to work on, but as players are developing their confidence is growing."
