“It was my first Super League experience and I didn’t know what to expect,” said Ms Duffy at the finish. “But I absolutely loved it. It helped coming in fresh, but the speed was a shock to my system.

“I grew up in Bermuda so I spent a lot of time in the ocean and I’m used to the surf, so I felt comfortable out there. Georgia is such a classy athlete and so talented and really turned it on during that last run.”
