London Pulse provide opening opposition for Team Bath Netball as British Fast5 All-Stars Championship draw is confirmed

Team Bath Netball will start their 2021 British Fast5 All-Stars Championship campaign against London Pulse after the draw for the eagerly-awaited competition was made today.

Should the Haines Watts-sponsored Blue & Gold win that opening match, they will face either Manchester Thunder or Leeds Rhinos in the second round.

The second-chance format means that all teams will play at least twice during an action-packed day at London’s Copper Box Arena on Saturday 30th October (1-6pm).

Team Bath, who reached the final in 2017, were represented at the draw by Fast5 captain Imogen Allison. Fellow England Rose Sophie Drakeford-Lewis is vice-captain of a ten-strong squad that also features long-bomb specialist Lucy Herdman. Click here to see the full squad announcement.
