Semi-Final Review and One Place Left

Chloe is back from Manchester to join Paul for a review of the first weekend of knockout netball in the Netball Super League.First up, it’s the Major semi-final in Manchester, as Thunder hold off a late charge from the defending champions, London Pulse, to book a place in their third Grand Final in five years.As ever, the tactical battle was crucial; we get into how the game unfolded, injury repercussions, and hear from both Sam Bird and Karen Greig.After that, we review Lightning’s dominant performance over Nottingham Forest and ask whether Forest were overwhelmed and drill down into a tactical masterclass from Vic Burgess.All that means we have London Pulse against Loughborough Lightning in the Preliminary Final - we ask where that game will be won and lost for the right to face Thunder in the Grand Final on June 20.There is plenty of news to get through too, as we reflect on our interview with England head coach Anna Stembridge, round up a decisive weekend in SSN and ask if the world rankings actually matter!
