Peterborough Royals begin title defence with two wins
Peterborough Royals enjoyed double delight in matches played at Sandwell last weekend.
The Royals opened up their 2022 title defending season with a bang with a 56-2 win against Sandwell Steelers.
The defence managed two interceptions with Jessica Liddiard and Jade Heales snagging passes, whilst Tanya Dales managed to recover a fumble for a touchdown. The offence, not to be outdone, showcased their new explosive plays with Ruth Archibald scoring three running touchdowns before half time.
Another touchdown by Archibald and a fumble recovery touchdown by Liddiard further bumped up the score after the break.
Royals followed that up with a 32-2 win over Norwich Devils.
Once again Archibald dazzled, scoring another two touchdowns, while Dales added another and Heales topped off the scoring to round off the win.
