London Mavericks moved up to second in the Netball Super League with a 67-56 win over Nottingham Forest.
Australian goal shooter Emily Andrew led the way for the Mavericks with 41 goals while Emma Thacker chipped in with six.
The Mavericks have won four of their opening five matches and leapfrog Manchester Thunder into second spot.
They are level with unbeaten leaders London Pulse on 12 points having played a game more than their city rivals.
The Mavericks were in front after the first quarter and at half-time for the first time in a league fixture this season.
Andrew was inevitably prominent in the scoring at the Motorpoint Arena as Camilla Buchanan’s side established a 35-27 lead at the mid point.
Forest produced a brilliant third quarter as they brought a 12-point deficit down to just two points to trail 47-45 thanks to Rolene Streutker’s clinical shooting.
However, the Mavericks raised their game in the final quarter and eventually managed to pull away as Forest’s players ran out of steam.
