The Fusion Woman’s team prepare for battle
Fusion 1 Set to Begin an Exciting Season in the Women’s British Clubs Leagues
As the Women’s British Clubs Leagues season begins this weekend, Fusion 1 is ready to step back onto the court, hoping to reclaim the title they proudly held two years ago. This year, the team is looking more determined than ever, with a talented lineup that includes U21 National Champion Tianer Yu, the seventh-ranked Tsz Yan Nancy Yeh, and the skilled Tiana Dennison. Returning players Maria Engelson and Elena Todirca will also play a key role, bringing both experience and consistency after impressive performances last season.
Fusion 1 may be a team to keep an eye on, but they’ll have plenty of competition. Last year’s champions, Drumchapel Glasgow Ladies 1, are back, hoping to defend their title even as they adjust to the absence of one of their top players, Yat Poon. And Ormesby TTC 1, last season’s runner-up, has strengthened their squad by adding Welsh internationals Lowri Hurd and Lara Whitton, creating an exciting lineup of skilled teams in the league.
Meanwhile, Fusion 2 has been competing in the first division for over four years. Although they earned a promotion to the Premier Division two years ago, current league rules prevented the move, as Fusion 1 was already in the top tier. This rule has limited Fusion 2’s progress, and it highlights the need for a change to allow deserving teams the opportunity to advance and compete for top honors, regardless of another team’s standing within the same club. This season, Fusion 2 has welcomed new players Lois Perryman, Molly Brown, and Supriya Saketharam, joining Jyoothimayi Vaishnavi Ghanta to bring fresh energy to the team as they continue to establish their place in the division – it will be tough but I am sure that they will make an impact.
Fusion teams are eager to start strong, focusing on each match as they work toward their goals. It’s sure to be a season filled with great moments for all teams involved, and we’re looking forward to seeing Fusion’s spirit and commitment shine through.
