England Netball - SuperCup 2003

SUPER CUP TICKETS ON SALE FOR BATH GAMES AND FINALS

6th May 2003
By Siobhan Atkinson

Tickets for the 2003 Super Cup matches at Bath University incorporating the Super Cup finals are now on sale. Bath will host the final weekend of fixtures and the home team will hope that at that stage in the competition they are close to the top of the league table. Home team, Team Bath Force will face Northern Thunder in the final group match. They will be hoping that good results from this game and the previous matches will give them a chance to move up the final positions and avoid playing off for 5th and 6th position where they have finished for the past two seasons.

Team Bath Force, based at the University of Bath¹s world-class, multi-sport centre, has 6 new players joining their side this season. England player Natalie Seaton has been drafted in from the athlete allocation alongside Sam Lyons who is a member of the England Development Squad. Jo Andrew and England Talent programme players Rachel Dunn and Tamsin Greenway have also joined Team Bath. The Force has a new head coach. Jan Crabtree has taken over from Lyn Gunson who, whilst still based at Bath, will be an England Selector at the Super Cup this year. It’s true that Team Bath once again contains an element of youth but there is also experience in the side. This blend may see the Force move up the final Super Cup table this season.

Kathryn Rawson will once again captain the side and viewed the Super Cup competition as "An exciting competition and a great test for all the players involved." She added "As a team this year we have some new players but we have great strength and depth, more so than in other years." She is also thrilled that once again Team Bath Force will be hosting a weekend of matches. She said "Having the Finals in Bath will be great especially for us as team to have our home support cheering us on. We are aiming for the title just like every other team in the competition. We have a good a chance as anyone, results were close last year and could go either way this year. We re just hoping they land in our favour."

Bath University hosted a sell out fixture last season and once again they are expecting a high demand for tickets especially with hosting the finals as part of their weekend.
