Scottish Sirens

[edit | edit source]

In June 2016 it was announced that Scottish Sirens, together with Severn Stars and Wasps Netball, would be one of three new franchises that would join the Netball Superleague for the 2017 season. Scottish Sirens were originally formed as a partnership between Netball Scotland and the University of the West of Scotland.[1][2][3] On 21 February 2017, with a team coached by Gail Parata and including Claire Brownie, Caroline O'Hanlon and Carla Borrego, Sirens made their Superleague debut at the Emirates Arena in a 43–57 defeat against fellow newcomers Wasps.[4][5][6]

UWS Sirens

[edit | edit source]

In September 2017 it was announced that the University of the West of Scotland would sponsor Sirens for the 2018 season. As a result the team became known as UWS Sirens.[7] As UWS Sirens, they also played in the 2018 Netball New Zealand Super Club tournament, finishing fifth overall.[8][9][10][11]

Strathclyde Sirens

[edit | edit source]

In October 2018, it was announced that Sirens would be renamed the University of Strathclyde Sirens after agreeing a partnership deal with the University of Strathclyde.[12][13][14]

Scotland

[edit | edit source]

Sirens work in partnership with both Netball Scotland and the Scotland national netball team.[1] Gail Parata served as the joint head coach of both Sirens and Scotland.[15][16] At the 2019 Netball World Cup, eleven of the Scotland squad were Sirens players.[17]
