Wasps Netball continue perfect start to the Vitality Superleague season

Wasps Netball continued their perfect start to the Vitality Superleague season with victory at Celtic Dragons on Monday night.

Sophia Candappa and Rachel Dunn were once again instrumental in helping the visitors secure a 58-46 success in Wales.

The Black and Golds are now the only team remaining with a perfect record this season, after securing a fifth successive victory.

The Dragons held their own in the first quarter, holding Wasps 13-13, before pressing home their advantage, with talented Goal Attack Chloe Essam impressing with two quickfire goals shortly after coming on.

Mel Mansfield's team then took complete control, proving too strong in the end, with Tamsin Moala also featuring in the fourth-quarter, and pushed to a 12-goal win.

There is a great vibe in this team at the moment. The strength of this team is the depth of our squad, so I think we're using that strength brilliantly.

"It was a physical game but the second half is always strong for us and we were able to make some changes to give our players a rest ahead of Friday's trip to Bath," said Mansfield.

"We managed to get all of our squad out on the court tonight and it was fantastic to see Chloe Essam out there and get the chance to show the talent she has.

"There is a great vibe in this team at the moment. The strength of this team is the depth of our squad, so I think we're using that strength brilliantly."

Wasps' next fixture will see them face Team Bath at Sport Training Village on Friday, February 22 (7pm centre-pass).

In the night's other game, Strathclyde Sirens sealed their second win of the season with a 60-54 win at London Pulse.
