Loughborough Lightning v Severn Stars – First Centre Pass at 18:00 Saturday 15 June

Loughborough Lightning host other top-four side Severn Stars at the Sir David Wallace Arena in Loughborough this Saturday evening. The last time these two sides met back in round nine, Lightning took the win, but will history repeat itself or will Stars be on the hunt for revenge?

Loughborough Lightning Player to Watch:

Beth Cobden had a standout performance last weekend against London Pulse. Earning her 150^th cap for the club, she also made her way into Serena Kersten’s Team of the Week following round 17. Picking up one interception, five deflections and two gains, the defender will certainly have to keep on her toes against Stars’ Jess Shaw this weekend.

Severn Stars Player to Watch:

As mentioned above, Jess Shaw also had an impressive round 17 campaign, earning a spot in Kersten’s selection in the wing attack position. Her powerful feeds to her shooting counterparts is what impressed Kersten and will definitely be one to watch this weekend.

Goal shooter Georgia Rowe has had an impressive few weeks dominating the shooting circle. Despite a loss to Leeds Rhinos last weekend, Rowe managed an average percentage of 89%, supporting her goal attack, Phillipa Yarranton, with collecting rebounds as well as deflections. She will definitely be one to keep your eye on this weekend.

Team Bath Player to Watch:

Young defending talent Jayda Pechova had a fantastic round 17 performance against Severn Stars, picking up three deflections, one interception, two pick-ups and one gain. Her elevation in the circle will definitely aid her success this weekend when it comes to Rowe’s height.

Strathclyde Sirens v Surrey Storm – First Centre Pass at 18:00 Saturday 15 June

Strathclyde Sirens will mark their final ever home game in the Netball Super League against Surrey Storm on Saturday evening. Being showcased on their YouTube channel, fans will be able to tune in to witness all the action live from 18:00.

Strathclyde Sirens Player to Watch:

With an impressive season in at goal attack, Sammy Ngubane will be one to watch this weekend against Storm. Her quick movements in attack and prolific shooting capabilities will certainly be one for Storm to pay close attention to. Having featured in several Team of the Week’s across the season, Ngubane will be hoping her performance on Saturday will be up there with one of her best.

Surrey Storm Player to Watch:

After shooting at 100% last weekend against Saracens Mavericks, Sophie Drakeford-Lewis’s talents will be one to watch this weekend for the final time in duck-egg blue. Her connection with partner Proscovia Peace-Nwokocha is second to none – the goal attack also managed to take one pick-up and one gain in last weekend’s match so her defending skills, as well as her shooting success, will definitely catch the eye.
