Loughborough Lightning vs NIC Leeds Rhinos – Saturday 10 May, FCP 18:00, Sir David Wallace Arena
The last time these two sides met resulted in a 72-58 win for Loughborough Lightning, but the defending champions did not have it all their own way, with NIC Leeds Rhinos creating defensive pressure throughout the game that challenged the usual slick and smooth attack line of Loughborough Lightning. On the return leg of this fixture, Rhinos will do everything in their power to turn the result in their favour making it a game that is not to be missed!

The London derby returns this week as the capital’s two NSL sides head to the OVO Arena Wembley to fight for the bragging right to call London their own. Will it be Sam Bird’s London Pulse side who take the win after a disappointing loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend, or Camilla Buchanan’s London Mavericks after their extra time victory over LexisNexis Cardiff Dragons in round eight?

Nottingham Forest Netball vs Manchester Thunder – Sunday 11 May, FCP 16:00, Motorpoint Arena
Chelsea Pitman asked her Nottingham Forest Netball side to be relentless, courageous and gritty ahead of their round eight game against London Pulse which saw them end the London side’s unbeaten run with a 69-59 victory. More of the same will be needed if Forest are to beat Manchester Thunder this week who currently sit in third place in the League table and will be looking for redemption after a loss to Loughborough Lightning in round eight.
