GEORGIA'S MAKING A SPLASH

Taylor ready for new season with York

- DAVE CRAVEN

AFTER a lifetime of relentless lengths in the pool, Georgia Taylor wanted more than solo pursuits and found rugby league.

Five years on from ditching swimming, the 28-year-old has taken to her new sport like a duck to water and made big strides on dry land.

Taylor helped York Valkyrie win the Women's Super League for the first time last season and also made a try-scoring international debut for Wales last October.

A flying winger, the PE teacher is just as pacey on the pitch as she was in the pool.

York begin their new season with a Challenge Cup tie at Sheffield on Sunday.
