The Netball Super League (NSL) Round 2 took place this weekend live on NetballPass*, BBC and Sky Sports, with Nottingham Forest earning their first win of the season, London Pulse beating the defending Champions, and London Mavericks vs Leeds Rhinos going down to the final second. 

Here is this week’s international player spotlight:

Nottingham Forest vs Cardiff Dragons

South African SPAR Protea, Rolene Streutker, is our first international player under the spotlight this week.

Loughborough Lightning vs London Pulse

Sticking with the theme of South Africa SPAR Protea’s that deserves a shout out this week, we have Nichole Breedt.

Breedt was untouchable in the shooting circle for Pulse, with the goal attack scoring nine Super Shots, and also putting in another 18 feeds to her fellow shooter as Pulse beat the defending Champions Lightning, 51-77.

London Mavericks vs Leeds Rhinos

Last but not least was the closest clash of the weekend, with London Mavericks using the Super Shot with 16 second to go to beat Rhinos, 54-53.

It was England Rose, Kira Rothwell that kept her calm in the final seconds of the game to secure the win.
