Britain's women’s American Football team have reached Saturday's IFAF European Championship final after a 30-14 win over Sweden.

Two touchdowns from quarterback Jo Kilby proved crucial for GB, who also produced a resolute defensive display as they forced multiple Swedish turnovers, including a fumble returned for a touchdown.

GB picked up their third victory in three days, following up a 17-6 win over group favourites Germany.  

Another strong running game was key to GB's success and the entire offensive line was given MVP honours.
