WOMEN’S FOOTBALL: With just seven games to go in the Super League tomorrow night’s clash at Stamford Bridge between table-topping Chelsea and third-placed Arsenal will have a major impact on the outcome of this season’s title race.

Reigning champions Chelsea, the most successful team in Super League history with six titles, are three points ahead of Arsenal but level on points with Manchester City, who visit Brighton on Sunday afternoon.

NETBALL: Top dogs Manchester Thunder put the Super League’s only 100 per cent record on the line tomorrow evening when they welcome Surrey to their Belle Vue home.

Elsewhere tomorrow night winless bottom club Strathclyde are up against Cardiff Dragons and Team Bath take on the Saracens. 

Last year’s champions Loughborough meet Leeds Rhinos on Saturday evening before London Pulse play the Severn Stars.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: London Lions men followed in the footsteps of their record-breaking women’s squad by winning 91-79 at Cluj-Napoca to become only the second British team to reach the last four of the EuroCup on Wednesday night.

Sam Dekker top-scored with a season-high 21 points and David Nwaba made six defensive rebounds and four steals for the Londoners who will meet either Paris or Spain’s Joventut Badalona in the semi-finals.

MEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: The new Championship season gets under way tomorrow evening with two of the games historically biggest names, Wakefield Trinity and Bradford, meeting head on.

Trinity, who were relegated from the Super League last year, have previously won the top-tier competition on two occasions while four-time champions Bradford last picked up the silverware as recently as 2005. Toulouse visit Sheffield in tonight’s other game.
