On Friday, Team Bath could not mark their last ever home match in the Super League with a win as they were beaten by Strathclyde Sirens 57-50.

Victory for Sirens was their first of the season amid a backdrop of emotion for those connected to the hosts as the five-time Super League champions have not been included in the relaunched Netball Super League (NSL).

In an address of the home fans, Team Bath head coach Asha Francis said: "I really appreciate every single one of you.

"To all of you who have supported us through the good, the bad, the highs and the lows, we definitely couldn’t have done any of this without you and we are so, so grateful to have the best fans in the league.

"We really hope that, despite the decision that has been made, you continue to watch netball and that netball will still thrive in the South West, and we will come back bigger and stronger."
