Team Bath head coach Jess Thirlby said: ³We¹ve come into some good form in the last couple of games and our training intensity has been really good.
³We played our best netball of the season against Surrey Storm on Monday so we have some good momentum and confidence, but you can¹t make any assumptions or take anything for granted in an all-or-nothing game like the one on Sunday."
