“I’m really looking forward to facing Sirens this weekend in our first home game of the 2024 season. Sirens always bring the heat, they always come and give us a tough game and I think this year will be no different having recruited some great signings in the off season.”
“It will be interesting to see how they continue to build after their first two games this season already. We’re definitely preparing well and looking forward to putting out a good solid four quarters of consistent netball and solidifying some combinations and executing our game plan for all four quarters of the game.”
Karen Greig, Head Coach and Franchise Director

Player(s) To Watch:
Players to look out for for Sirens is new signing Sesandile Ngubane. She’s an imported South African Goal Attack, and it’s her first year in the NSL. She’s played some great netball and is sitting high in the stats already, and it’s going to be a tough ask to shut her down.

Another player to watch is how Millie Sanders plays this weekend. She’s obviously gone up there to get more court time after coming through the Manchester Thunder pathway, and she certainly knows the way we like to play so it will be interesting to see her back on her old home ground in new colours.
