Surrey Storm Player-Coach Tamsin Greenway said her side are looking forward to the tournament and playing on home turf. 

She said, "The Cathedral City Lighter Fast Net Grand Prix is a great new competition that will showcase the finest Fast Net netball at domestic level, and the tournament provides ideal competitive preparation ahead of the regular Superleague season.

“We're drawn against some tough teams in Mavericks and Team Bath in the Surrey Conference, but we'll be going all-out to perform well, make it to Finals Night, and win the title at our home court in front of our fans. We've got a few new players in this season's squad, and all the girls are really excited about competing in the tournament.”

Andy Crook, Superleague General Manager, is delighted with the popularity that this tournament has attracted. He said, “It’s great to see that the excitement surrounding this form of the game is increasing.

The Surrey Conference on January 8th has already sold out and the Manchester Conference on the 7th is not far behind. Fans will enjoy a fabulous weekend with all eight franchises competing to make it to the Finals Night on Friday 13th when the action returns to Surrey Sports Park.”
