'I'm a girl from Kent and now I'm a world champion'

Eleven years on from starting her rugby journey at Aylesford Bulls Rugby Club at the age of 16, Kent's Rosie Galligan is now a world champion with the Red Roses.

She was back in the county today, armed with a particularly heavy souvenir.

England produced a dominant performance to defeat Canada at Twickenham and win the Women's Rugby World Cup for a third time on Saturday.

In front of a record women's rugby crowd of 81,885, the Red Roses, who had lost the previous two finals to New Zealand, laid that ghost to rest with an assured display built on their power up front and ferocious defence.
