In what appears to have been a thriller from start to finish, last night the Mavericks beat Team Bath 29 points to 28 in both teams’ first match of the season. This defeat ends a 24-match unbeaten run for this season’s favourites.

This is a most interesting start to the season for both teams and the Mavericks must be confident of their chances after bringing down the giants. Well done girls!
