With that in mind, Thirlby may well choose to field Sophie Drakeford-Lewis and George Fisher together from the outset, as well as maintaining the Team Bath unit of Serena Guthrie, Imogen Allison and Layla Guscoth further back. Burrow, who was given approximately two years to live, speaks frankly about his condition, going as far as to envisage how his life will end, but does so with dignity and the humour and warmth that epitomises his character and would clearly be horrified if his story drew any pity. Goals from Diallang Jaiyesimi and Conor Washington put the visitors in control inside the opening half-hour but Cole Stockton's penalty reduced the deficit and Anthony O'Connor headed a 72nd-minute leveller. Thirlby's team ensured that captain Serena Guthrie could still lift the Taini Jamison Trophy on Friday morning.
