Team Jets promotion hopes ended after loosing to Telstars

Team Jets dreams of reaching a third consecutive England Netball promotion play-off were quashed on Sunday with a 60-40 loss to Premier League 2 rivals Telstars.

Needing two victories from their last two games to have any chance of finishing inside the top three, Jets were second best from start to finish against a side who forced a 43-43 draw at Fort Regent in November.

The Kent-based hosts achieved a 100 per cent success rate in the shooting circle in the opening two quarters, and with Jets shooters Lynsey Pitman (46% accuracy) and Sophie Holmes (69%) struggling at the other end their eight-goal first-quarter deficit continued to grow.

Jets drop to fifth in the table ahead of next weekend's season-ending tie at home to Premier Romans on Saturday afternoon.

Team Jets squad: Lauren Devine, Josie Le Masurier, Georgia Hickey, Lisa Luce, , Nicole Goddard, Jacy Brown, Abbie Hazley, Sophie Holmes, Lynsey Pitman, Rebecca Forrest
