It’s our penultimate line-up of the calendar year and one of our starters becomes the first player to make four consecutive appearances.

Holly Winterburn (Leicester Riders)
Yes, the Riders’ guard is still proving unstoppable and makes it into our Fab Five for a fourth week in a row after Leicester destroyed the visiting Eagles. Winterburn tortured the north-east side with a brilliant 25 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals.

Chelsey Shumpert (Nottingham Wildcats)
The Wildcats are chasing down the leading trio of clubs and are now locked in joint-fourth spot with Mystics after their star guard inspired a win at Lions. Shumpert lit up the capital with a standout double-double of 30 points and 15 boards, as well as grabbing 4 steals.

Claire Paxton (Leicester Riders)
While her Riders’ colleague was taking care of the business in the backcourt, the Scottish forward was also shining in the big win against Newcastle. Paxton accumulated her best numbers of the campaign so far with a dazzling 23 points and 16 rebounds.

Luiana Luvulo (Westfield Health Sheffield Hatters)
It was a memorable day for Sheffield as they booked a first ever WBBL Cup Final slot and even more so for the Portuguese star. Livulo was at the heart of the victory in Manchester as she showed out with 25 points, 8 rebounds and a spectacular 6 blocks.

Kara Bonenberger (Newcastle Eagles)
While Eagles did lose heavily against Riders, it was actually a mixed weekend for them, with Bonenberger providing the main thrust for a nice victory at Cardiff Met Archers. The center was on form in South Wales as she harvested an excellent 26 points and 13 boards.

Off the bench – Sarah Toeaina (Westfield Health Sheffield Hatters), Janice Monakana (Sevenoaks Suns), Jasmine Joyner (Nottingham Wildcats), Lizzy Harrison (Oaklands Wolves), Evelyn Ovner (Manchester Mystics), Tijana Dukic (Cardiff Met Archers), Steph Gandy (Newcastle Eagles).
