The University of Bath-based franchise remains the most successful team in Superleague history, winning four of the seven campaigns since the introduction of the competition in 2006.

Head coach Jess Garland said: “Our phase one home games will be really important to us as we try to get our 2013 campaign off to a strong start.

“We’ve always said we have the best supporters in the country – they always give us a real lift on court. We hope they’ll book early and be ready to cheer us on when our campaign gets underway.”

The 2013 Superleague season will again follow the same format as last season, with team’s battling it out in a round-robin phase one to secure a place in phase two and the end of season play-offs.
