Tamsin Greenway believes Surrey Storm have created a winning culture and are capable of completing a hat-trick of Superleague title wins next season. Greenway, who is Director of Netball at Surrey, watched proudly from the sidelines as the Storm retained the Vitality Netball Superleague trophy with a 55-53 win over Manchester Thunder in Saturdays Grand Final.Storm entered the match as underdogs against the top-placed Thunder, but Greenway paid tribute to a special group and expects Storm to challenge for a third successive title. Watch the Grand Final highlights You know what, that group was a special group, she told Sky Sports. Whether the group stays together, whether there are retirements, whether there are new players coming in - what Storm has now is an environment where some of those youngsters have seen what a winning culture we have. I think that becomes hard to break. I cant believe that Storm wont be knocking on the door come finals time. Tamsin Greenway I totally believe that whatever happens next year at Storm, weve built a culture that can play to the top of its game and actually believe they can win things.I cant believe that Storm wont be knocking on the door come finals time. Reaction from both camps Surrey have built their team around a strong pool of homegrown talent, but Greenway would consider strengthening the squad with an overseas player from the ANZ championship. Perfect netball player What qualities are needed to reach the top in netball? Its been interesting this year because weve made a real stand about saying we want fully English players, said Greenway, who is also the England U21 head coach. We want to get youth on court and I think they have been fantastic.As always, take a few weeks off to reflect with the older players, see what they want to do. There is always a few people that want to stop. There will be player movement, players going off left, right and centre Im sure. Surrey Storms Mikki Austin reflects on their title win There will be opportunities to get players from the ANZ. Ive been really impressed with the imports that people have brought in this year and to see what they have brought to the team as well.I never ever say never to anything. Our plan next year will to be really competitive, to make finals, and to have the best team in place to do that. What that looks like will be the decision over the next few months.

Ellsbury lined an RBI single on a 0-2 pitch to score Derek Jeter with the go ahead run in the eighth inning, and the Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Tuesday night. "This type of game is the type of win that has been eluding us," Ellsbury said. "Hopefully, if we can win these types of games well be in great shape. Its always nice to go out there and throw a bunch of runs up there and make it easy on the pitching staff, but yeah, you have very good hitters, its just a matter of time before it really starts clicking." Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 14 games -- the longest for a Yankees player since Jeters 19-game streak in 2012 -- and gave New York just its fourth win in the last 11 games. Ellsburys hit came after Jeters ground-rule double off Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma. Scoring the winning run capped a big night for Jeter, one that started with festivities. The Mariners honoured Jeter during a pregame ceremony in his final visit to the city where he made his major league debut in 1995. Jeter was given a seat from the old Kingdome and an engraved watch from former New York teammate Robinson Cano as part of his farewell tour gifts. Jeter then went out and had two hits and scored two runs. He also scored on Carlos Beltrans RBI double in the first. "Anytime you can start rallies those are big things," New York manager Joe Girardi said. "And you get yourself into scoring position with less than two outs, those are big things." Scoring runs has become a problem for the Yankees. They havent scored more than four runs since May 28 against St. Louis. While thats a small sample, its enough that Girardi was questioned before the game about his concern over the lack of offence. They didnt get a lot against Iwakuma (4-3), but the Yankees came through in key moments. Beltran had the first big hit with his opposite-field double to score Jeter. That was followed by Brian McCanns RBI infield single that handed starter Vidal Nuno a 2-0 lead before he toook the mound.dddddddddddd Then it was Ellsburys turn in the eighth, lining the two-strike pitch from Charlie Furbush for a single to take the lead. "I feel like my at-bats are better than April. I dont know where the numbers stand but I feel a little better up there," Ellsbury said. "But the big thing is we won tonight, not really extending a hit streak or anything like that. Nuno and the Yankees bullpen made sure what offence they received was enough. A rainout on Monday in Kansas City ruined a potential matchup between former teammates in Japan, Iwakuma and Masahiro Tanaka. Instead, Tanaka was pushed back to Wednesday. Nuno went 5 2/3 innings and was in line for the victory before Dellin Betances problems in the seventh. Nuno struck out two and allowed only Cole Gillespies RBI single to score Cano in the first. Nuno did escape trouble in the second and fourth innings when Seattle had runners in scoring position with two outs and were unable to get the runner home. Michael Saunders came inches from a three-run homer in the fourth, but his drive to the deepest point of Safeco Field was caught at the wall by Ellsbury. "He did what he had to do," Girardi said. "I thought he did pretty well. He got us to the sixth inning." Seattle pulled even at 2-2 in the seventh off Betances when Dustin Ackley singled just over the head of Brian Roberts to score Mike Zunino. "He throws so hard and is so long you just got to see it and hit it," Ackley said of facing Betances. "Luckily I was able to sneak it over the infield." But the Yankees responded immediately in the eighth and instead of blowing the lead, Betances (4-0) got credited with the victory. David Robertson pitched the ninth for his 15th save.
