IT may have been the final round of the regular season of the 2023 Netball Super League season, but there was still some surprises yet to come, even down to the final game. Arguably the biggest upset of the season, let alone the round, came in the final game of the season with the Saracens […]

ROUND 14’s offering of fixtures in the Netball Super League may be small in number, but is certainly not small in potential entertainment value.
