Northern Thunder finished Round 18 of The Co-operative Netball Superleague with 26 points securing third position in the league and confirming the North West based team as host for Play-Off 2.

Northern Thunder played their last scheduled fixture against Hertfordshire Mavericks, winning 61-39, resulting in the Hatfield based team finishing in fourth place. Play-Off 2 will see the two teams meet again in the next stage of the competition.

Hertfordshire Mavericks will travel north to Castle Leisure Centre in Bury on Friday 30th April to play the 7.30pm match in the hope that they can reverse the previous result. However Northern Thunder are hungry for the opportunity to play in the Grand Final which takes place on May 15th at Nottingham’s Trent FM Arena.
