It was a great team performance with player of the match Emma James for controlling the game in the centre court.

Chi seconds played at home to Royal Holloway, and the game seemed to be running away from the team – but they brought it back to be trailing by just three at the end of the third quarter.

A phenomenal last quarter from the whole squad, with Laura Meridew gaining player of the match for brilliant shooting, gave Chichester a 55-49 win.

The thirds took on St Mary’s University at home and after a tense first half, they excelled to win 63-38. Player of the match was Lianne Purvis for some excellent feeds into the circle to help Chichester win.

The win has put Chi thirds back to the top.
