Around The Courts | NSL NXT Gen Round 3

THE RESULTS across the NSL Nxt Gen League last weekend were a lot closer than the weekend prior had been, as three undefeated sides became two.
ROUND 3 RESULTS
Team Bath vs London Pulse
London Pulse have kept their undefeated record intact while handing Team Bath their first loss of the campaign. The Pulse exerted their control of the match early, leading by 12 goals at the main break, before going on to win 56 goals to 40.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester Thunder
Manchester Thunder had quite the scare, but ultimately remained undefeated to start the season after beating Nottingham Forest, 60-58. The Thunder were by far the more dominant side in the first half and led by as much as 11 goals at the main break, but Forest fought back hard in the second half and almost pulled off the upset but could not quite get over the line.
London Mavericks vs Birmingham Panthers
The Birmingham Panthers have picked up their second win of the campaign after a narrow 50-48 win over the London Mavericks.
Cardiff Dragons vs Leeds Rhinos
The Leeds Rhinos are on the board for 2025 after narrowly beating the Cardiff Dragons 43-41.
