A special BBC Sport Relief celebrity netball match, hosted by popular presenter Clare Balding, will take place following the day’s action at the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019 on Friday 19th July.
Hoping to fulfil a childhood dread of lifting a sporting trophy, huge netball fan and comedy legend Jennifer Saunders will captain one of the teams made up of celebrities and netball legends.
She will face tough competition from a star studded team led by BBC Strictly Come Dancing’s Oti Mabuse. Oti, who grew up playing netball in South Africa, will be hoping her years of dance training pay off as she hot foots it round the court at the M&S Bank Arena Liverpool.
The match will take place following two World Cup play-off games (teams to be confirmed) and spectators attending session 16 on Friday 19th July will be able to enjoy the exhibition game as part of their session ticket.
Viewers will be able to watch the match on the BBC on the weekend of the World Cup final (July 20th/21st)
Tickets for session 16 are selling fast but there are still a limited number remaining here.
