Manchester Thunder, Loughborough Lightning and Team Bath have all sealed their place at the 2019 British Fast5 Netball All-Stars Championship to join defending champions Wasps Netball at the Copper Box Arena, London on Saturday, October 12.

Four more teams will join the quartet in the £100,000 tournament, which returns for its third year in the autumn and will feature the top eight teams from the 2019 Vitality Superleague.

Superleague leaders Thunder defeated Strathclyde Sirens on Monday evening to ensure they cannot be edged out of the top eight this season. That win also meant qualification for Team Bath, while Loughborough Lightning beat Saracens Mavericks to guarantee a top-eight finish.

Mavericks themselves are just one win away from qualifying and will be confirmed for the Fast5 All-Stars should the beat London Pulse on Saturday.

Featuring 12-minute matches, an all-star 5-point line and a Golden Buzzer Power Play, the British Fast5 Netball All-Stars Championship is an all-action afternoon of non-stop, pulsating netball.

Tickets for the 2019 British Fast5 All-Stars Championship will be available from midday on Monday, February 18 via www.fast5allstars.co.uk with tickets priced at £24 (bronze), £30 (silver) and £40 (gold) with courtside hospitality tickets available at £100.

The 2019 British Fast5 All-Stars Championship will take place 1-6pm on Saturday, October 12 at Copper Box Arena, London.
