Well, Crikey ... !

That was priddy exciting!

Celtic Dragons have been on great form recently, to come top of the bottom half of the SuperLeague.

Tonight, they played in the 4th Place Play Off against Team Bath ... who came bottom of the top half of the SuperLeague.

This game is being shown on Sky on Thursday, and I would seriously suggest watching it.

At one point, Bath were 13 points clear. Dragons suddenly found their form, and clawed their way back and back.

Bath rallied.

Then Dragons came back at them again ... 9 points gap, then 8, 7, 6, 5 ...

Time was rapidly running down ... Bath were hanging on against a fierce Dragons comeback, and ...

... won ... 52-50.

So Bath survive, and play Northern Thunder on Saturday. Thunder will whup Bath's little butts, so the more interesting fixture on Saturday is between Surrey Storm and Hertfordshire Mavericks.

GO STORM !!

And then ... the SuperLeague Final !

That's on Sunday. I think it has to be Thunder v Storm. And that will be one almighty game.

So ... the SuperLeague climax is just days away.

I know you're going to miss the Netball when it's all over.

So, season over, I guess the two cuddly lasses from the Dragons can put their boots away until September.

Does that mean their netball season is over too......?

"Thunder v Storm"

sounds electric

[joggerjayne]

jno ... funny coincidence that the two "weather name" teams get to the final.

Well, they're not there yet, but I'll be amazed if the final is not between Northern Thunder and Surrey Storm.

Aah, those two, Phil. I'm sure they will spend the off-season keeping in (err) good shape.

And yes, it will certainly be the end of the SuperLeague season.

=0(

I might keep you all posted about a few other fixtures. Or not. We'll see.

Of course, the SuperLeague Final will be on SkySports 4 next Thursday. I will be trying to encourage people to watch it next week.

Sadly, of course, it won't feature the Whippets.

[Philtaz]

No Whippets? What happened, too many helpings of 't black puddin'?

[joggerjayne]

Inexperience, I think, Phil.

The Jets played some good games this season, but they are the newest side in the SuperLeague. If they keep the same squad, I'd fancy them to do even better next season. I think the Whippets and the Dragons could both finish above Team Bath.

Provided they stop eating all those black puddings, obviously.
