The win was Pulse’s third on the spin and last season’s losing Super League finalists have recorded six wins in seven games since losing their curtain-raiser to Manchester Thunder.
“We have to be happy – we’ve really improved since the opener and I think the girls showed they are enjoying their netball and are playing an exciting brand that people want to watch,” Bird told BBC Sport.
Lightning, meanwhile, leapfrogged Thunder at the top, for a couple of days at least, after the league’s leading scorer Mary Cholhok added 49 more goals to her tally in the win over Cardiff.
Leeds Rhinos claimed their third victory of the season in Friday’s other game as they triumphed 67-51 at second-bottom Team Bath.
There are two more Super League matches to come this weekend, on Sunday, as Thunder look to reclaim top spot when they visit Saracens Mavericks while Severn Stars entertain Surrey Storm (both 16:00 BST).
Thunder will feature in BBC Sport’s next televised game, on Saturday 13 April, when they host Leeds live on the BBC Sport website and app, and BBC iPlayer.
