The Opposition…
Manchester Thunder were undefeated champions in the 2022 season but have made some changes to their roster for 2023
With 2 rounds under their belt in 2023, they have taken a win against Celtic Dragons and a loss to Surrey Storm. They currently sit 4th in the table with 3 points. Manchester Thunder will undoubtedly be looking to bounce back from their loss to Surrey with a win against Pulse on Saturday.
