Team Bath Netball’s annual pre-season tournament is returning in December 2019 – and this year it is bigger and better than ever!
Instead of the three teams of recent years, there will be SIX competing over two action-packed days at the Team Bath Arena to be the first-ever winners of the Lyn Gunson Trophy – named in honour of the legendary coach and player-development guru who made such an impact with Team Bath and England.
The Blue & Gold will be joined at the tournament by fellow Vitality Superleague franchises Saracens Mavericks, Severn Stars, Strathclyde Sirens and Surrey Storm plus special guests Knights, the UK’s leading men’s netball team.
