MONDAY night saw a battle between the two teams propping up the Premier Division table in the Maidenhead District Netball League at Kidwells Park.

The Redbacks came into the game against Scotch without a win all season and, although they started well they could not keep pace with their opponents shooting accuracy.

Scotch steadily increased their lead each quarter and the game finished 36-27 to them.

Having only being promoted to Premier Division this season, Angels have been giving long-standing teams a competitive game and last week was no different.

Angels took a slight lead into the first break, but Business Moves pulled it back to lead by one goal at half-time. A run of goals in the fourth quarter then saw Business Moves win 36-32.

In Division One, Phoenix Pinkz stay top of the league table after a nail-biting performance against Wokingham Netball Club, eventually winning the game 23-22.

The Magpies remain second after drawing 27-27 against Black Magic, whilst Sevens move into third after beating Sparks 24-21.

Langley Netball Club (LNC) Royals move up the to fifth after their 34-23 victory against Apple Travel Green.
