Pressure at the top: Dominant British Army set to defend Inter Services netball title

The Inter Services netball championships are taking place in Aldershot next week and the Army will have another chance to cement their place at the top of the service sport.

The ladies in red have been the dominant force in forces netball over recent years but last year's tournament saw the RAF put up a much tougher challenge.

With the Royal Navy also boasting a host of new talent, will this year's tournament be closer than ever and can the champions deal with the pressure at the top?

"It's definitely added pressure," said Army team captain Captain Katharine Chadwick.

"You've got about six years that we've won. So, actually, it's definitely added pressure but it's always a good competition.

"We're excited for the challenges that the RAF and Navy will bring."

The Navy and RAF will battle in the first match of the tournament before the two final matches will see the champions in action.
