Manager Paul Walker said: “It would have been very harsh on us if we had got nothing out of the game.

“It was a fantastic effort and shows the value of never giving up.

“Despite that I still feel it was two points dropped - up until they scored their second goal we were completely in control. There was only one team going to win it.”

Wasps: Gillstrom; Duncan, Cole, Walker, Naomi Stephenson; N. Smith, Elphick, Davies, Boyd; Turbill; Fine. Subs: Hannah, Ward, Worsfold.
