Tomorrow's clash between Leeds Sharks and Sheffield Sharks at Liverpool will decide the final qualification place for the women's Super 5s.
Manchester, Otter, Liverpool Lizards and Coventry are already through. And Leeds and Sheffield both maintained their challenge with vital wins on day one.
Leeds cruised to a 13-3 victory over Coventry, including six goals by Nilacala Ward and two apiece for Molly Quinn, Candyce Schroeder and Hannah Pritchett. Sheffield's match with Caledonia was much closer; Sharks let slip a 12-10 lead in the last period as Caledonia levelled at 12-12 but then claimed the winner 47 seconds from the final hooter thanks to Bernice Cowton.
Manchester lost for the first time this season - 9-8 to Otter. The London side were narrowly ahead for much of the game but saw an 8-6 advantage late on cut back to 8-8 before a Danica Brazier goal secured the win.
