ENGLAND’S ELITE NETBALL TEAM TO TAKE ON NEW ZEALAND IN NOTTINGHAM

 

The Vitality Netball Nations Cup kicks off at the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham on Sunday 19 January 2020.

The Vitality Roses; England’s elite netball team, will play in front of a home crowd in January 2020 for the first time since the Vitality Netball World Cup as part of a new international series.

The Vitality Netball Nations Cup will see the Vitality Roses battle against the Jamaica Sunshine Girls, the New Zealand Silver Ferns and the South Africa SPAR Proteas across four days of action in three cities.

The Vitality Netball Nations Cup kicks off at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham on 19 January, which will be the first time since 2011 that an international netball competition has come to the city. The competition will start with England playing New Zealand for their first encounter since they lost to them in the World Cup final and Jamaica will face South Africa in what promises to be an exciting start to the series.

Jess Thirlby, the Vitality Roses Head Coach, said: “This is going to be an extremely exciting event; competition is higher than ever and teams are out to prove themselves following the incredible exposure of the World Cup. Not only will we be gaining a valuable opportunity to face some of the world’s best teams, we will also be competing in a completely brand new international competition.

“It is also the first time that the Roses will compete on home soil since the Vitality Netball World Cup and the first time we will be taking netball to three different cities in one series. There’s so much to look forward to and we’re really excited to see all the Roses fans back out in force.”
