SEVERN Stars head coach Sam Bird is hoping her team can make it five wins in a row at home in their last game of the season.

Stars’ recent positive form has seen them win four, including the largest winning margin in the club’s history against Team Northumbria.

Now Bird is keen to see a fifth victory against Celtic Dragons at the University of Worcester Arena on Monday (7.30pm) to close out the season on a positive note for their fans.

“We are really keen to obviously give our fans a great performance in our last home game,” she said.

“We love playing at home. We like to be able to prepare and we’re really looking forward to it.

"It’s really important that we go out and perform how we can to just round everything up.

"It’s the last chance for the players to play this season and will be an emotional day for me as I’m so proud of how far the squad has come.

“Our fans have been fantastic this season, sticking with the team despite some tough losses earlier in the campaign, and it is great that we have been able to repay their loyalty and enthusiasm with some winning performances as the season draws to a close.”

Their last match saw the team defeat Team Northumbria by 30 goals 63-33. 

Bird said she believed such a result showed the team’s progress over the course of the season.

“For us we could do with a couple more fixtures really and I think we’d be up there challenging,” she said.

“Not even teams at the top are necessarily winning by these massive margins.

"It shows where we want to be and how to push on for next year.”

Bird added that despite their winning form Stars were prepared for a tough test against Welsh side Dragons.

“Dragons are a competitive and physical team,” she said.

“They are truly passionate about representing Celtic and are always a determined and challenging team to compete with.”
