Loughborough Lightning v London Pulse – First Centre Pass at 18:00 Friday 7 June

As the semi-finals and finals approach and in front of a sold out home crowd, Loughborough Lightning will be hoping to reverse the one goal-loss they suffered when they faced London Pulse earlier in the season. Meanwhile Sim Bird will be demanding a clinical performance from her side, who came close to defeating Manchester Thunder last week at the AO Arena, but weren’t quite able to hold onto the victory. Fans won’t want to miss this match, which could turn out to be a semi-final preview.

Loughborough Lightning Player to Watch: Beth Cobden is set to make her 150th appearance for Loughborough Lightning in today’s game. In such a milestone game, look out for her trademark relentless style of defence applying pressure to the Pulse attack as she works to create turnover ball at crucial times for her team

London Pulse Player to Watch: Funmi Fadoju’s exceptional performance in round 16 earned her the goal defence bib in Tamsin Greenway’s Team of the Week. This was her tenth naming in the Team of the Week this season! The defender can always be relied on to win ball just when her team need it most and is sure to make an impact on court against the reigning champions tonight.

Saracens Mavericks v Surrey Storm – First Centre Pass at 16:00 Sunday 9 June

This match sees Surrey Storm travel just round the M25 to meet local rivals Saracens Mavericks one last time. It is always a real battle when these two teams come head to head, and Surrey Storm have picked up four wins in their last five meetings. The last time Mavericks took the points over Storm was back in 2022, and with the side coming into this game following four consecutive losses in NSL 2024, they’ll be keen to put out a winning performance in front of their home crowd tonight.

Saracens Mavericks Player to Watch: Razia Quashie has been consistently strong in defence for the Mavericks this season, and last week was no different. She notched up an impressive two intercepts, four deflections and two gains. Fans at Hertfordshire Sports Village will hope they can cheer her on to more success tonight!

Surrey Storm Player to Watch: Sophie-Drakeford Lewis epitomises hard work on the court, where she gives her all for her team week-in, week-out. Displaying consistently high shooting statistics and often dictating play in the Storm attacking end, a strong performance from her tonight will be vital if Storm are to take their seventh win of NSL 2024.

The club have made history by achieving their first ever top four finish, and they’ll now be looking to build that all-important momentum as they head into their first finals series. Team Bath, on the other hand, just missed out on victory last week so will be keen to right some wrongs today in the hope of earning another three points.

Severn Stars Player to Watch: Sigi Burger currently sits second in the Gilbert Top Scorer leaderboard, having scored 643 goals so far this season. She has been a constant, reliable presence under the post for Stars so expect this form to continue in front of a passionate home crowd tonight.

Team Bath Player to Watch: Jayda Pechova was nothing short of outstanding in round 16. She did everything she could to keep her team in the game, with three intercepts, four deflections and eight gains to her name.
