Player of the Match Ama Agbeze gives her thoughts on Loughborough Lightning's win over Yorkshire Jets

Ama Agbeze was named as player of the match, just a week after impressing for England, and was satisfied with the Lightning's overall performance.

Agbeze told Sky Sports: "I think defensively just to try and gel as a team and I think that was coming together - as hopefully people could see in the game - and then just trying a bit of variety so not just sticking with one thing.

"Attacking-wise, just being patient with the ball, not losing possession.

"We probably threw a few too many long balls that were 50-50, so hopefully we can go back to training next week and make sure we don't do those."
