It was a phenomenal performance by Mary Cholhok across Round 10/11 with the talented goal shooter leaving no stone unturned and simply inflicting a wealth of scoreboard pain. Her ability to reel in the high ball, use her fancy footwork and shoot truly is second to none as she added a staggering 103 goals to her tally. Joining her in the goal circle is Eleanor Cardwell with the Manchester Thunder, goal attack able to effectively ply her trade in both her performances across the round. Cardwell added 13 and 22 goals respectively while only missing four shots showcasing her reliability under the post.

The wing attack position falls to Loughborough Lightning midcourter, Hannah Joseph. Although not overly dominant on the stats sheet it is her ability to continuously deliver the ball perfectly into the circle that earnt her the spot. Her cool, calm and collected manner paired with her fancy footwork makes her an easy selection. Getting the nod in centre is Wasps stalwart, Amy Flanagan who made her presence felt through the midcourt with her hard running and drive. Able to slice through the opposition defence and pick up ball of her own Flanagan collected four intercepts and six deflections across both games in an all-round strong effort. Gabby Marshall had an outstanding couple of games for the Saracens Mavericks making life hard around the circle edge and winning back a wealth of ball using her tenacity and closing speed to full effect. Her constant movement and read of the flight of the ball enabled her to get hands to ball time and time again amassing seven intercepts and three deflections.

Manchester Thunder defender, Rebekah Airey got the nod at goal defence with her closing speed and capacity to get hands to ball a couple of key attributes. She is never far from the contest and while it may not always translate into statistics her work off the ball is unquestionable as she shuts down her player thanks to her smothering style of play. Earning the goal keeper position is Towera Vinkhumbo with the Malawian defender effectively plying her trade for the Sirens given her quick footwork and lanky arms to produce a number of turnovers. pair that with her tenacity and skillset to shut down defenders and it was a no brainer to select Vinkhumbo as she finished with six intercepts and 12 deflections.

On the bench is Leeds Rhinos goaler Donnell Wallam, who has enjoyed her return to VNSL after being sidelined with injury. Wallam was a rock under the post for the Rhinos using her strength and height to full advantage piling on 81 goals in her two outings. Returning from injury, Imogen Allison did not skip a beat for Team Bath with the highly energetic wing defence plying her trade and putting in the hard yards around circle edge to limit the influence of her opponent to pick up two intercepts and three deflections. The ever-reliable Layla Guscoth got busy across the court with her sticky hands coming into play as she reeled in six intercepts and six deflections.
