Team Bath Netball will once again take plenty of positives from Friday's contest against defending Netball Super League champions Manchester Thunder, despite the 76-57 final scoreline in the home team's favour. A high-energy start from both teams set the tone and it was end to end for the first 10 goals but a key interception from goal-keeper Josie Huckle changed the flow and gave Thunder the chance to score seven goals without reply. The gap...
Team Bath had to settle for fourth spot in the BUCS Super Rugby table following a final day defeat to an impressive Exeter side. The Bath Building Society-sponsored men’s 1st XV knew a point would secure a top-four finish, but were looking to match their best finish of third from 2018/19. However, a below par display in tough conditions at the Team Bath Sports Training Village meant they missed out on a bonus point while...

A big final quarter gave Super League table-toppers Surrey Storm an ultimately emphatic victory but the scoreline didn’t reflect a much-improved performance from Team Bath Netball. A 1,700-strong crowd at the Team Bath Arena saw the Haines Watts-sponsored Blue & Gold produce plenty of fight, flair and belief during the first three quarters, with just a goal or two separating the teams in a couple of periods as they made the visitors work hard for...
