Malawi\u2019s goal-shooter Joyce Mvula has, in her second campaign in the United Kingdom\u2019s (UK) Vitality Netball Superleague, earned kudos, following her lightning-quick exploits with Manchester Thunder.<\/p>\n
After starring in three games over the weekend, the former Blue Eagles Sisters player, once again, delivered on Monday night at Leicester Arena to guide Thunder to a 56-55 win over Loughborough Lightning.<\/p>\n
The fourth win on the bounce put Thunder level with leaders, Wasps Netball, in the 10-member league.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Sky Sports<\/em>, Thunder\u2019s player Emma Dovey hailed the contribution of Mvula, who went in with her side trailing 17-13 in the first-quarter.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really difficult to come on so early and, as a shooter, it can knock your confidence if you are not in the starting- seven. We need to look at how we start games\u2014we show character and we pull through in the end, but our starts are letting us down,\u201d Dovey was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n Lightning Coach, Anna Carter, said: \u201cWe didn\u2019t play with intensity. The game-plan was solid but game-plans are only good if you stick to them with intensity. We didn\u2019t manage that.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Wasps put an end to Heatherford Mavericks\u2014 employers of Malawian netball legend, Mary Waya\u2014 unblemished start, winning 66- 52.<\/p>\n It is expected that Mvula, Australia-based Mwawi Kumwenda and UK\u2019s Team Northumbria-bound versatile player, Laureen Ngwira, will be the catalysts for the Queens\u2019 return to form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Malawi\u2019s goal-shooter Joyce Mvula has, in her second campaign in the United Kingdom\u2019s (UK) Vitality Netball Superleague, earned kudos, following her lightning-quick exploits with Manchester Thunder.
