Meet our Women’s Squad who are training towards competing in the World Games 2022 in Birmingham, USA.
We have chosen a squad of twenty from the best players across Wales, Scotland and England. There was competition for places at every position and without doubt the most difficult selection I’ve ever faced. However, the outcome is a really strong squad that can be confident of being genuine medal contenders at the World Games.
