STRATHCLYDE SIRENS are the “game changer” for the sport of netball in Scotland, according to their chief executive officer Claire Nelson.
Sirens are the country’s only professional netball team — some players are full time, some are part-time — and fly the flag for Scotland in the Netball Superleague where they currently sit in sixth place, one point behind Leeds Rhinos and two adrift of Wasps in the play-off spot.
Next up are Celtic Dragons at the Copper Box Arena in London, currently being used as a closed-doors hub for games amid the pandemic, on June 13, before their final match against Manchester Thunder a week later.
