British netball is entering an exciting new era, but southern hemisphere sides are still leading the way, says England selector Maggie Jackson. The Vitality Netball Superleague has gone from strength-to-strength in recent years and has attracted talented internationals such as New Zealands Liana Leota and South African Lenize Potgieter.Homegrown players have also benefited from the higher standard of competition and England took the bronze medal at last summers World Cup, with Australia edging out New Zealand in the final. England took the bronze medal at last summers Netball World Cup But Englands recent 3-0 Tri-Series defeat to Australia gave a stark reminder that Tracey Nevilles team still need to make up ground on the top sides in the sport.And Maggie Jackson, an England selector and performance director at Hertfordshire Mavericks, admits that players need more financial support to continue the growth of club netball.I think this is like the beginning of a whole new era this season, Jackson told Sky Sports. The transfers, the recruiting and so on has felt - I think in the 11 years Ive been involved - like its moved up another notch in the standard of the Superleague. Therefore to have this kind of closeness is fantastic for lots of reasons. Australia have strengthened their reputation as the top international side Reflecting on the differences between the Superleague and the ANZ championship, Jackson said: For me, probably because of my coaching background, we have to ensure that franchises are becoming professional, as in literally professional, so we can train players during the day.Clearly they will have to do some work, like they do out there, but we need to get more and more players who are able to get paid to train and to compete.Your average Superleague player, which makes up to 75 per cent of the squad, are all still working and coming in during the evening. Superleague: Ones to Watch Players to watch in the Vitality Netball Superleague In order to have a really effective training programme they need to rest and recover as well.But Jackson has taken positives from the three matches against the world champions in January.She singled out Ama Agbeze as a consistent performer and believes England have a promising crop of young talent. Talented young players have forced their way into Tracey Nevilles selection plans It was always going to be hard with those players who were unavailable or injured, said Jackson. It was the opportunity for people to step up. What was pleasing was to see Ama Agbeze really stepping up and playing well continuously. All the years Ive known Ama, shes been in and out of the squad, but she got some court time and really stuck to the task. I thought she and Eboni Beckford-Chambers really worked well together.Natalie Haythornthwaite who is having an impact in the Superleague - people like her have got the potential to really do well.For me, Natalie, Ama, Sara Bayman in the middle and of course Helen Housby, another one who a bit like Ama got the opportunity to play a lot more. That was pleasing to see. Also See: London Live: Storm v Mavericks WATCH: Annas netball diary Wholesale Patriots Jerseys Authentic . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.

DETROIT -- Avisail Garcia lifted a fly ball to right field, Daniel Nava drifted back to make the play -- and then a sloppy game swung in Detroits favour for good. Nava appeared to have the ball in his glove, but when it came free second base umpire Mike DiMuro ruled there was no catch. That was the first of two Boston errors that helped the Tigers score three runs in the eighth inning en route to a 7-5 victory over the Red Sox on Sunday. "Sometimes its your day, sometimes it isnt," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. Justin Verlander struggled again for Detroit, but the Tigers rallied to win when Boston made a complete mess of the last few innings. The Red Sox allowed Detroit to tie the game at 4 in the seventh on a hit batter with the bases loaded -- and then in the eighth, they gave up three runs on one hit. Boston was convinced afterward that DiMuro had gotten the games key call wrong. "I know I made the catch," Nava said. "Sometimes calls go your way, sometimes they dont." Nava, in right because Shane Victorino left the game with lower back tightness, went back toward the wall and tried to make an awkward-looking basket catch. A replay showed he might have lost the ball while transferring it from his glove to his throwing hand. "To have a catch, you have to have complete control and voluntary release," said crew chief Ted Barrett, the third base umpire. "(DiMuro) had him with control, but did not have the voluntary release. When he flipped the ball out of his glove, he never got it into his hand. Thats not voluntary release." Boston manager John Farrell was ejected for arguing the call. "When you spend the rest of the game in the clubhouse, you probably have a difference of opinion," Farrell said. "Clearly, the call was missed. He caught it, he went to transfer to his throwing hand, dropped it at that point." Garcia ended up on second, and Bryan Holadays bunt also worked out nicely for Detroit when pitcher Andrew Miller (0-2) threw wildly to first for another error, putting runners at first and third with nobody out in a tie game. Austin Jackson walked, and Alex Wilson came on and allowed Torii Hunters sacrifice fly that gave the Tigers a 5-4 lead. Miguel Cabrera was intentionally walked, and Prince Fielder hit a two-run single off Craig Breslow. Joaquin Benoit (2-0) got the final four outs for the Tigers, although he allowed a run in the ninth. The Tigers were fortunate just to tie it in the seventh. After Jacksons leadoff single, Hunter hit a line drive that second baseman Dustin Pedroia dropped. It appeared the Red Sox might get a double play out of it, because Hunter was slow getting out of the batters box, but Jackson retreated to first. Pedroia threw to first, retiring Hunter while Jackson was still standing on the base.dddddddddddd When Boston retired Hunter, it meant Jackson was no longer forced to second, so he remained safely at first. Cabrera and Fielder followed with singles to load the bases, and after Victor Martinez struck out, Jhonny Peralta was hit by a pitch to tie it at 4. The Red Sox took a 4-3 lead in the fourth on Victorinos run-scoring groundout. Verlander allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. He walked three and struck out four, and his ERA went up to 3.90. It was the second straight start in which he lasted only five innings. "Thats sports. Theres ups and downs. Nobodys at the peak of their game forever," Verlander said. "Ill get back there. I will. Its just, like I said, finding that click -- finding that rhythm." Detroit led 2-0 after the first inning, but Verlander gave up two runs in the second. The Tigers scored a run in the bottom of the second, but Verlander again couldnt hold the lead. Pedroia reached on an infield single, and David Ortizs single put runners on first and third. Mike Napolis grounder tied the game at 3. Boston starter Felix Doubront was in trouble at the start, walking the first two Detroit hitters and then allowing Cabreras double that bounced over the wall in centre field for the sluggers 75th RBI of the year. Fielders RBI groundout made it 2-0, but Jacoby Ellsbury made a nice sliding catch in centre on Peraltas drive for the third out, preventing any more scoring. Detroit loaded the bases for Hunter with two outs in the fourth, but Victorino made a nice catch and held on while slamming into the wall in foul ground in right. Boston is giving Andrew Bailey a break from closing after he lost Thursdays game at Detroit in the ninth inning. He came on with a one-run lead in the seventh Sunday but allowed singles to Jackson and Cabrera before giving way to Miller. Detroits bullpen has also been maligned this year, but Drew Smyly pitched 2 2-3 scoreless innings before Benoit finished. Fielder was Detroits designated hitter, leaving Martinez to make a rare appearance at first base. Martinez made a nice play in the sixth, diving to his left to knock down Ellsburys grounder, then flipping the ball backward to Smyly, who covered for the 3-1 putout. Hunter made a tumbling catch in right for the last out of the game. NOTES: Boston did not put LHP Franklin Morales on the DL after he exited Saturday nights game with discomfort in his throwing shoulder. Farrell said Morales would be evaluated thoroughly on Monday. ... Both teams are off Monday. Boston returns home and sends RHP Ryan Dempster (4-8) to the mound against Colorado RHP Juan Nicasio (4-3) on Tuesday night. Detroits homestand continues Tuesday night.
