[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As we head into the final round of the English Women’s Super League season on Sunday 11th May 2025,  the poduim places and the battle for British Championships qualification and seeding are still up for grabs. Let’s dive into how Round 6 is shaping up!

Race for the Title

The Bedford Mighty Eagles have been outstanding all season, sitting top of the table with 27 points after 15 games. Despite being unbeaten, the title isn’t secured just yet.

Derby Phantoms are behind on 24 points and could still therotically catch them and the title if they win all three of their games — finishing on 30 points and Bedford Mighty Eagles drop enough points.

Across their final three fixtures Beford Mighty Eagles just need to claim 4 points to guarantee the league title, regardless of Derby’s results. Even just a win and draw might be enough thanks to their set difference advantage.

Bedford Mighty Eagles face London Storm 2, Leicester White Tigers and London Storm — a tricky schedule, but their dominance so far suggests they’re ready for the challenge.

Derby Phantoms

Leamington Spartans

Leicester White Tigers

London Storm

The Final British Champs Spot

With Leamington Spartans automatically qualifying for British Champs as returning Champions, the other top five teams this season will also qualify for 2025.

The last spot comes down to:

• London Storm 2 (6th place, 14 points) need just one point from their remaining three games — against Bedford Mighty Eagles, Bedford Rangers and London Storm 1s — to seal their place.

• Wessex Wolves (7th place, 8 points) have a mountain to climb. They must win all three of their matches and achieve a 36-set swing to have any chance, and with facing Derby Phantoms 1s and London Storm 1s, it could be a very hard task.
