The last month has seen some fierce competition in the Dyfed Netball League. All 10 teams have been battling hard to secure their position for the end of season rankings!

Alongside the league, heating up to boiling point is the progression of the Netball Cup competition following the semi-finals which were fiercely contested at the beginning of February!

A quick reminder of the teams progressing through to the cup final, who are the two stronghold teams of Milford, who overcame St. Clears in their semi-final, and Carmarthen Aces, who conquered sister team Carmarthen Dragons (cup final report to come next week)!
