New recruit Lockhart to make Valkyries debut

Australia rugby league international Lucy Lockhart will make her debut for Valkyries in their Tyrrells Premier 15s match against Loughborough Lightning at Sixways on Saturday (kick-off 2.00pm).

Lockhart has recently started studying at Worcester University and will make her debut at openside flanker in place of Charlie Wilcox who has been ruled out with concussion.

Valkyries are also missing their hooker and captain Lark Davies who is on enforced rest ahead of England’s Six Nations campaign.

Carmen Tremelling comes in for Davies and Laura Thomas returns at blindside flanker as Lisa Campbell is injured.

Australia international Bec Clough has also returned home having completed her stint with Valkyries so Lyndsay O’Donnell and Stacey Maguire renew their second row pairing.

The back division is also reshuffled with winger Vicky Laflin returning and Carys Cox moving from full-back to centre to cover for the injured Vicky Foxwell.

Valkyries Development XV will also play their Loughborough counterparts at Sixways on Saturday (kick-off 4.30pm).
