Repeat knockout queens Guardian General Pride of Villa and league champions St Barnabas will clash in a champion of champions battle when the new netball season opens today at 5 p.m. at the Wildey Gymnasium.
The opening parade is expected to paint a picture of colour and style with more than 80 teams registering to compete in nine divisions.
However, that picture may not be as beautiful for some clubs which have suffered personnel losses.
Powerhouses St Barnabas have lost seven players who are overseas on scholarships and three starters have transferred to former double crown queens, UWI Blackbirds. (KB)
