Dragons beat Forest for third win of the season

LexisNexis Dragons record a third win of the season with a tight 65-64 victory over Nottingham Forest in Netball Super League.

The LexisNexis Dragons are heating up the Netball Super League, notching their third win of the season in a nail-biting 65-64 victory over Nottingham Forest. It was a game that kept fans on the edge of their seats, with the Dragons completing a season double over their rivals after an earlier away win in round six.

Georgia Rowe was the star of the show, firing in 35 goals to lead the Dragons' charge. On the other side, Rolene Streutker put up a valiant effort with 31 goals for Forest, but it wasn't enough to stop the fourth-placed side from slipping to a narrow defeat. For the Dragons, this win is a testament to their growing chemistry and resilience—qualities every netball team needs to thrive.

Elsewhere in the league, the London Mavericks are closing in on the top four. Sitting in fifth place, they cut Forest's lead to just six points with a hard-fought 63-60 win over the Leeds Rhinos. George Inger and Emily Andrew led the way with 27 and 22 goals respectively, helping the Mavericks bounce back from last week's loss to Manchester Thunder. For the Rhinos, Paige Reed's 20 goals were a bright spot, but her team remains stuck in seventh place with only one win all season.

The action doesn't stop there. Second-placed London Pulse will host league leaders Loughborough Lightning on Sunday, while Manchester Thunder take on bottom-side Birmingham Panthers on Monday (both matches at 18:00 BST). With the season heating up, every game matters—and you can catch the excitement live on the BBC Sport website and iPlayer.

Mark your calendars for these upcoming matchups: Manchester Thunder vs. Birmingham Panthers on May 4, Nottingham Forest vs. London Mavericks on May 9, and Loughborough Lightning vs. Nottingham Forest on May 15. Whether you're cheering from the stands or sporting your favorite team's gear, this is netball at its finest.
