“I’m looking forward to being back at Belle Vue on Saturday facing Bath. We’ve historically had some great matches against them, and they are growing all the time this season and really fast. We’ve got a point to prove and we really want to get back to winning ways. The girls have trained hard this week, and we’ve put the pressure on in different situations to see how they handle that and we’re hoping that we can step out on court and put a really solid full force of netball together.”
Karen Greig, Head Coach and Franchise Director

Player(s) To Watch:
A player to look out for Team Bath Sophie Kelly at Goal Attack. We have to make sure we get into her head early and not allow her to settle and take long shots.
Also, Jayda Pechova, goalkeeper. She is young and fearless and will go hunting and we have to be smart with ball in hand.
Pinpoint Pechova 📍
