Scotland’s newest professional sports team, the Sirens, lost 57-43 to Wasps as they made history on Tuesday evening in front of a sell-out crowd.
The first Scottish team to join netball’s Vitality Superleague were always behind against the visitors from London at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena.
Sirens and Wasps are two of three new clubs this season after the league, now with teams from England, Scotland and Wales, was expanded to 10 teams.
A crowd of 4000 – more than attended three of the weekend’s Scottish Premiership football matches – watched the match.

The Dalry Netball team were there to see this historic match and to be part of that 4000 strong crowd. Having played all season in the Dumfries and Galloway School’s league, they were more than impressed by the speed and skill of these professional players. They also learned lots about the warm up and pre match drills.
This minibus dash up to Glasgow and back made a fitting end to a season where the Dalry players have shown real sportsmanship and determination. An aspirational and inspirational evening!
