Six British women who took part in WTT Star Contender London will add some sparkle to proceedings as the Women’s British Clubs League returns for the new season.
Two-time defending champions Drumchapel Glasgow will call on England’s Ella Pashley (pictured above) – who won two qualifying matches against significantly higher-ranked opponents before departing for China’s Xiangyu Zhang – to complete a hat-trick of titles.
Also in the ranks of champions is Jersey’s Hannah Silcock, who recorded a stunning victory to beat world number 143 Debra Vivarelli of Italy.
However, Drumchapel is likely to encounter serious resistance from Wensum, who boast a trio of athletes fresh from the Copper Box Arena: Sophie Earley, Mari Baldwin and Jasmin Wong.
Sienna Jetha, who competed well against France’s No. 138 Audrey Zarif in London, leads the Draycott challenge.
The Premier Division is completed by Fusion, with top-rated Patricia Ianau leading their team; Ormesby, led by No 7 Mia O’Rahilly Egan; and Joola Plymouth, led by Sophie Barcsai.
The Women’s BCL will have a total of 44 teams this season – the most since the pandemic and believed to be a record – who will compete in seven divisions at WV Active Aldersley in Wolverhampton.
