In New Zealand, they’re getting ready this week for the opening round of the new ANZ Premiership season. Meanwhile, we’ve seen three rounds of the Vitality Netball Superleague completed. London Pulse again played in the TV game on Monday, this time against Celtic Dragons. After an even start, Pulse gradually got right on top, and they came away with a huge 31 goal win.
That now leaves Pulse as one of three unbeaten teams, alongside Thunder and Team Bath. Bath were very impressive in their win over Wasps, completely dominating the 2nd half. Meanwhile Thunder made an incredible comeback against Lightning, coming from 12 goals behind, and amazingly nine goals down at 3/4 time to win by three.
