NSL Player Focus: Vicki Oyesola (Leeds Rhinos)
ONE of the absolute standouts of this year’s Netball Super League (NSL) season has been Leeds Rhinos defender Vicki Oyesola.

History repeats for most in the NSL, but not all
IN a repeat of the Netball Super League fixtures from Round 2, some match ups saw history repeat themselves, others did not.
