Wales Netball is delighted to announce the selection of Wales’ long squad of 16 players. From these 16 players, the final 12 will be named to face world number 2, New Zealand’s Silver Ferns, on February 7th and 8th. These world class teams will meet on court at the Ice Arena Wales, as part of the much-anticipated two test match series.
The sixteen athletes are:
Sara Bell
Fern Davies
Suzy Drane
Bethan Dyke
Chloe James
Clare Jones
Kyra Jones
Nia Jones
Lateisha Kidner
Chelsea Lewis
Kelly Morgan
Cara Lea Moseley
Eleanor Roberts
Georgia Rowe
Leila Thomas
Amanda Varey
The long squad will continue with their preparations this week, until the final 12 is selected on the weekend and announced on the 6th of February. This will be the first time for several of the team members to play against the Silver Ferns, and it will be the first time any of them will have represented their country at the 3,000 capacity Ice Arena Wales.
The test series marks twenty years since the Silver Ferns last visited Wales to play the home team. The Ferns remain undefeated by Wales, who will be hoping to close the gap on the score when the two sides last met in the capital city in 1997.
