IT WILL be make or break when Worcestershire face Hampshire North at Prince Henry's High School in next month's final fixture of the English Counties Netball League.

The county lost 52-40 to South Staffs last weekend and they must now overcome fellow their second division strugglers on Saturday, April 5.

Trailing by nine shots going into the final quarter, Worc-estershire netted four goals without reply but that was to prove a false dawn as their opponents scored fine unanswered shots to run out comfortable winners.

However, there were enough positives from the latest defeat to believe that relegation can be avoided.

The county Under-18s defeated their Staffordshire opponents 39-26, while the Under-16s also ran out winners 39-30.

Other result: Worcs Under-18 II 29, South Staffs 32.
