“I’m definitely going to be sleeping with this trophy tonight,” said Boulter, who grew up in nearby Leicester.
“I dreamt of this moment since I was a little girl, training here at four or five years old, coming here as a fan and now coming here as a player. I dreamt big and it means more than everything to me.”
