Team Bath Netball end first half of NXT Gen League season with four wins and four defeats after Lightning loss

Team Bath Netball will look to build on the lessons learnt from their biggest defeat of the NXT Gen League season to date when they visit Cardiff Dragons on Easter Saturday.

They begin the second half of their league campaign with a trip across the Severn Bridge to Cardiff’s House of Sport on Saturday (centre-pass 4pm).
