History

[edit]

New franchise

[edit]

In June 2016 it was announced that Severn Stars, together with Wasps Netball and Scottish Sirens, would be one of three new franchises that would join the Netball Superleague for the 2017 season.[1][2] Severn Stars were formed as a partnership between the University of Worcester and the University of Gloucestershire. They subsequently appointed Anita Navin and Pamela Cookey as directors of netball and Mo'onia Gerrard as their first head coach.[3][4][5] On 18 February 2017, with a team that included Josie Janz-Dawson and Eleanor Cardwell, Severn Stars made their Netball Superleague debut in an away game against Surrey Storm, losing 58–40.[6][7]
