Shooting Stars have teams in the Hampshire League, the Regional League South division two, the Portsmouth League and the Gosport & Fareham League.

They achieved the impressive feat of winning both the Portsmouth League premier one and the top-flight of the Gosport & Fareham League as well last season.

It shows the depth of talent at the club.

Everyone is training well ahead of the new season and looking forward to launching the defence of their titles.

The club has been boosted by adding more teams with a second Hampshire League team now.

The first match of the season for Stars will be away to Sussex Storm on September 23.

It promises to be an excellent season with the boost for netball this year after the England team beat Australia in April to win a historic Commonwealth Games gold medal.

Shooting Stars have seen the benefit with a huge turnout for Hampshire League team trials.
