It is set to be an exciting summer for netball fans, as Team England defend their gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The tickets have already been snapped up long ago, but fans can enjoy the atmosphere of the crowd by attending a series of free screening hubs organised across the country, England Netball reports.
A series of matches will take place between 29 July and 7 August, with England taking on Trinidad and Tobago, Northern Ireland, Uganda, and New Zealand, to complete for a place in the semi final on Saturday 6 August.
Team England will be hoping to repeat their success, when they took a surprise gold against favourites Australia at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The win provided a huge boost for the popularity of the sport here in the UK, with an estimated 320,000 people now playing netball on a regular basis.
Fran Connolly, CEO of England Netball said: “We know that seeing international netball and world class athletes on our TV screens at moments like this inspire and excite a nation. We want more people than ever before to watch our sport and see first-hand how thrilling the game is at elite level.”
She added: “We are delighted to partner with Pop Brixton and The Botanist to bring fans together to watch Team England defend their title on home soil and enjoy what will be a spectacle for our sport this summer.”
The free screenings will take place in London, Birmingham, Nottingham, West Bridgford, and Alderley Edge in Cheshire, at venues run by the Botanist pub chain. Fans will have the chance to share their excitement, and hopefully the success of the 2022 England Team!
