The Scottish Thistles Climb to 9th in World Rankings
7th March 2018
The Netball World Rankings have today been released and we are delighted to confirm that the Scottish Thistles have climbed one spot and now sit inside the Top 10 in 9th position. Just in time to kick start our International Women’s Day 2018 celebrations.
This is the first INF World Rankings update of 2018 and sets a historic milestone in international netball, as for the first time in history forty (40) teams now have a INF World Ranking. This coincides with another milestone in that it is ten years since the Official World Rankings were launched by the INF, when there were just 22 teams with a ranking, testament to how international netball has grown over the years.
We are so incredibly proud of the hardwork, commitment and dedication of the Scottish Thistles, Management Team, Support Team, of both present and past, who have all played their part in today’s announcement. We also thank our funding partners sportscotland for their continued support and belief. The Scottish Thistles now look ahead to next month’s Gold Coast Commonwealth Games as part of the #TeamScotland2018 family, and to competing at the Netball World Cup in Liverpool in the summer of 2019.
This is most certainly not the end goal for the Scottish Thistles, and as a whole team will continue to press forward with their goal of being a Top 8 International side.
