Strathclyde Sirens star Emma Barrie admits last season in the Vitality Netball Superleague was ‘annoying’ for her side, and hopes they can hit the ground running next term.
Sirens finished eighth in the 11-team league, meaning they qualify for the Fast5 Championships – the top eight teams compete in a pre-season tournament featuring 12-minute five-a-side games, all played in a single day via double elimination.
The season before that, Sirens narrowly missed out on a play-off place and had “shocked” teams, according to Stonehouse star Barrie, who says losing that underdogs status might have counted against them.
