Malawi are on a roll

Basketball PLAYERS rolling around on the floor could be the unexpected sight at Sheffield Arena on Monday
The Malawi Queens will unleash their unique traditional celebration if they beat England in what will be the first international netball fixture played in Sheffield.

Singing and dancing will feature in the visitor's warm-up but Malawi hope to be no roll-over for England's stars.

Malawi, ranked fifth in the world, will look to avenge their 81-37 defeat to England at the World Championships in New Zealand last November. The three-match international series will head to Coventry and London on Wednesday and Friday.

"Spectators at these test matches should expect some very different play, with plenty of excitement and thrills – and watch out for some unusual moves, particu
larly in the circle areas," said Nigel Holl, England Netball's Director of Netball.

Netball is the top women's sport in Malawi.
