Celtic Dragons Play Two Superleague Matches In Four Days

Celtic Dragons play two Vitality Netball Superleague fixtures in four days in their quest to climb the table.

Dragons travel to face Wasps on Friday (8pm), while they are at home against Surrey Storm on Monday, April 10 (7.45pm).

That match against Storm is to be televised live by Sky Sports.

In their latest match Dragons were beaten 65-45 by a Loughborough Lightning team who still have a 100 per cent record after seven matches.

They moved clear at the top of Superleague thanks to the win against Dragons at the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff.

Green Army Dragons’ fans turned out in force, but their team started slowly before fighting back against Lightning.

It was a hard fought, physical match with both teams fighting hard and giving as good as they got.

Loughborough University MSc student Peace Proscovia was in scintillating form, scoring regularly.

Dragons kept battling and produced a spirited fourth period, but the visitors were comfortable winners.

Loughborough goal-attack Vanessa Walker said: “Credit to Dragons who did their best to make it hard for us. In the end, though, I think it was our interception rate and clinical shooting that saw us through.”

Loughborough Lightning are on the road for rounds seven and eight as they take on Team Northumbria and Severn Stars respectively. They then return home on Easter Monday where they face Team Bath at 4pm.

Quarter scores (Dragons first): 11-15; 12-15 (23-30); 6-22 (29-52); 16-13 (65-45).
