Team Bath to start Fast5 All-Stars Championships campaign against Surrey Storm as 2023 draw is made

Super League semi-finalists Surrey Storm await Team Bath Netball in the opening match of the Fast5 All-Stars Championships at London’s Copper Box Arena on Friday.

The Haines Watts-sponsored Blue & Gold, who go into the tournament as defending champions, will then face either Manchester Thunder or Strathclyde Sirens in their second game, with the double-elimination group stage ensuring all teams play at least twice during the evening.

Leeds Rhinos, London Pulse, Severn Stars and Saracens Mavericks – who were beaten by Team Bath in the 2021 final – are in the other side of the draw and are potential opponents should the Blue & Gold reach the semi-finals.

Team Bath were the first club to announce their squad for Fast5, which includes senior debutant Ellen Morgan. Click here for the full details.
