Take a look back at the fourth round of the Vitality Netball Superleague, and enjoy some of the highlights and keynotes.
From the performance of the Manchester Thunder head turner at lunchtime on Sunday to Loughborough Lightning and Severn Stars ending the proceedings on Monday night, it was another great round of Superleague netball.
If you missed any action, you can watch all the games back in full on Sky Sports’ YouTube channel. The tournament now stops briefly, before returning on March 12 with another 10-game bumper weekend.
For now, check out some of the things that jumped at us over the last six games …

Globe player (s)
This week, Beth Cobden the one who picked up this award after her player of the game’s performance at the Lightning 70-41 victory over Leeds Rhinos Netball. Anyone who takes that honor, not playing the full game has to do something right!
The Commonwealth Games winner is getting better and better before the moment. It has taken strong strength, both physical and mental, for Cobden to return to court and you would expect Jess Thirlby to have a few positive notes about WD in her notebook!

Also, a tip of the hat to two hunters who took to court on Monday night – Ine–Mari Venter and Laura Rudland.
Venter introduced herself to the excellent competition, while Rudland was dressed up and right in the ever-growing Dragons costume.
Performance of the circuit
We are heading to Scotland for the performance of the world, as Strathclyde SirensLondon Pulse won 35-30 in their third consecutive victory.
This is the first time in the franchise ‘s history that they have received three winners on the kick, and they did so with a confident and confident display. In attack, Nicola McCleery and Gia Abernethy were outstanding, and Towera Vinkhumbo put tremendous strength in their defensive end.
Young player succeeds
At the Severn Stars tournament against Loughborough Lightning on Monday night, Issy Eaton they came to court in the second quarter and looked. The 16-year-old looked as if she had been part of the tournament for a while, when, of course, she only made her Superleague debut last weekend.
Eaton’s ability to hold enough space behind her, meant that people like Nia Jones could take the direct route and look in early. As the pressure lifted, she kept it cool and should keep getting better as the season progresses.
A look at social media
First stop, we give the microphone to the inspirational Joyce Mvula and her thoughts, after her player of the performance of the match for the Manchester Thunder against Severn Stars.
I remember being told that Netball won’t take me anywhere … this doesn’t look like anywhere. 💪👐. I am thankful @thundernetball for excellent teamwork.🔥👏

On Saturday, it was Guinness Six Nations big day for England and Wales rugby fans, and Nia Jones made sure everyone knew about her obedience to the Severn Stars team bus. !
After a very good performance and result on Sunday, Loughborough Lightning enjoyed a strong Monday morning, as they were joined by a sports legend for a team culture session.
This morning the team’s team meeting went along with anyone else @ 6Lauz shared her web ball tour, key career events before she began a conversation about team culture
Many thanks to Laura for taking the time to come to the call 💜 pic.twitter.com/p3dVyl9UWE

Expert judgment
At half-time at Monday’s tournament between Saracens Mavericks and Celtic Dragons, Dan Ryan shared his analysis of Venter, the new South African Saracens Mavericks international. Needless to say, Ryan was pleased with what he saw.
“Ine-Mari has gained so much flexibility in the way she plays the game,” he said. She finds out, works on extensions and works on the baseline.
“Its mix and flexibility [is excellent] and its combination with Kadeen Corbin has great growth potential.
“She’s been very easy to find, her accuracy is tough, and her firing technique is almost perfect,” he concluded.
