5:21 Reaction after the Strathclyde Sirens beat London Pulse 35-30 in the Vitality Netball Superleague.
Up next is a severe test of their credentials in a weekend double-header when they take on two-time champions Wasps and less than 24 hours later Team Bath who have won all five of their games so far this season.
Third-placed Wasps are up first on Sunday, before they face Bath in the opening game of Monday night’s Sky Sports Mix doubleheader and Dix can’t wait.
“You can’t be anything but excited to play the best teams in the league and it is going to be a tough challenge that will test our mentality and our physicality. We’ve been able to get a few early wins and really show up and give people a bit of a shock.
“I know we have it in us physically but the mental side in being able to achieve small victories to get a big victory over what is going to be a tough weekend.”
It helps that with her boyfriend Callum Brittain impressing for promotion-chasing Barnsley there is a competitive spirit to drive them both on in good times and bad, and at the moment both are enjoying successful seasons.
“We are competing against each other at the moment, but they are flying and I hope they can get promoted.
“You know what to say to each other if you have had a tough game, or a good game, so you know what the other one needs. It’s been really useful to have that.”
And season’s targets, have they changed following an impressive start?
“For whoever makes the top four the season changes and becomes semi-finals and then a final so it’s a cliché but we are taking each game as it comes, they are all very different challenges.
“We pushed Mavericks and got a draw and then a day later Rhinos held us off in the last minutes so it is always a new challenge and one we take on.”
Whether a title push is on the cards for Sirens remains to be seen, but soon they will be another title challenge as another season is hopefully just around the corner. Dix may have moved north of the border for netball but they’ll be no switch of allegiance in the dodgeball arena.
“Scotland are pretty big on dodgeball too, there are quite a few teams up here and they are one of England’s main rivals.
“But I can’t leave my team back home, we are six-time dodgeball Superleague champions!”
Sky Sports is your home of netball. The Vitality Netball Superleague continues on Sunday, with four matches streamed live on the Sky Sports YouTube channel for viewers in the UK and Ireland from 12pm.
