The Vitality Netball Superleague All Stars squad sees an incredible selection of talent from across the Vitality Netball Superleague clubs, with Severn Stars’ Liana Leota named as Captain and both Loughborough Lightning’s Sam May and Saracens Mavericks’ Jo Trip supporting her as Vice Captains.

Looking ahead to the games, All Stars Head Coach Karen Greig said: “I’m really looking forward to working with such an exciting group of athletes, as you look across the court areas we have potential for some strong units that will hopefully challenge the Vitality Roses.

I’m excited to see what this group can achieve over the three tests.”
