Kicking off the day was the culmination of the Road to the Copper Box tournament, and there was plenty of quality Netball on show across the tournament!

The arena began to fill and it was time for the two teams to arrive…
There was plenty to do on the concourse, and it seems fans were making the most of the Photo Booth!

With a great first-half from both sides, it was Lightning who took a slender lead at the interval…

At half-time it was time for the Cup final of the Road to the Copper Box tournament, and it was Kings’ Rochester who came out on top!
