Sunderland Scorpions gave a debut to Great Britain international Gemma Watt and she tucked away a penalty shot as Scorpions crushed Basingstoke Lady Bison 26-0 in a women's premier league match.

Watt's goal was Scorpions' fourth at 04.54 after Claire Oldfield (2) and Teresa Lewis had struck earlier. By the end of the first period Scorpions had scored eight, four of those from Oldfield.
