LUCY Mills was England under 17s' top scorer as the team secured bronze for the second year running in the EU Nations Junior Women's Tournament.
The former Culcheth High School pupil led the way with four goals in the 16-3 bronze-medal match against Denmark but Tyldesley Water Polo Club's leading National League marksman scored a further six times over the three days in Brno, Czech Republic.

Fellow Warringtononian Katie Bowater, a City of Liverpool player who started out with Warrington Swimming and Water Polo Club, netted six times as England won Group B before falling 9-5 to eventual winners Germany in the semi finals.
England's group wins came against Wales 11-3, Czech Republic under 15s 18-0 and Denmark 18-3.
The event was hailed by head coach Sarah Dunsbee as excellent experience ahead of the European Championships in Volos, Greece, from September 1 to 8.
