SuperLeague This Week

[joggerjayne]

The SuperLeague season starts this week.

=0) ... and Yay!

There's a fab looking game on Thursday to start the season ...

Surrey Storm are away to Hertfordshire Mavericks (at Hatfield).

I'm trying to find out when it's on the telly, coz it will definitely be worth watching.

[joggerjayne]

Okay, it's on ...

Thursday, SkySports 4, 7.30pm

How are that new team 'The Whippets' getting on jj?

[joggerjayne]

Phil, the "Yorkshire Jets" have had a great start to the year.

Hang on ...

[joggerjayne]

Okay, their last four results have been ...

Against Northern Thunder ... Lost 28 - 14

Against Team Northumbria ... Won 34 - 19

Against Loughborough Lightning ... Won 25 - 22

Against Celtic Dragons ... Won 23 - 22

The win against Loughborough was a great result for the ... err ... ""Whippets".

I think their next game is at home to Mavericks on 27th January, which is part of the SuperLeague series.

In keeping with the Yorkshire theme, they're no puddings....!

[joggerjayne]

They're certainly not puddings.

They're pretty glamorous.

Back row, third from the right, I think, is their defender Steff Wilson. She's a real pin up.

[joggerjayne]

Just a reminder, and a little taster ... a clip from last June, when Storm (in light blue) were away to Mavericks ... in the SuperLeague Final ...

Jayne - you have one of the England squad living in the Brighton area now, she's getting married later this year - hubbie is from there, she is from Jersey. She was at the national centre in Bath.

[joggerjayne]

England squad member born in Jersey?

Which one is that?

13-10 to Storm.

[DTCwordfan]

Mary B....

[DTCwordfan]

relative - sort of....

[joggerjayne]

Storm leading after 2nd quarter.

Close though.

[joggerjayne]

Related to you, DT ?

Cool !

Why don't you go to watch ??

[DTCwordfan]

Bit far from here......step niece I guess......

[joggerjayne]

Sounds like a day out, DTC ...

Drive down, pub lunch, game ... maybe even stay over.

her mother dies tragically when she was young of leukaemia - then her father met my sis and she was a netball player too...my niece has just been invited onto the England youngsters pool and recently went on an England training camp with Tracy Neville, actually at my old school. M has been with the squad for some time and has played a number of internationals.

[joggerjayne]

Storm by 10 ...

[DTCwordfan]

would necessitate a stay over and then there is an issue with the Alzheimers here....however, if her parents come over, it may be a very valid option....

[DTCwordfan]

may be coming up for the wedding - think it is July in Brighton.
