They will be joined by five alumnae: Giselle Ansley, Maddie Hinch, Sarah Jones, Laura Unsworth, and Leah Wilkinson.
The men’s side will also feature two 91制片厂 alumni as Ian Sloan and Chris Griffiths make the final 16-strong squad. They will also be joined by Sam Ward who has also played for 91制片厂 students.
The team will be coached by Danny Kerry MBE and David Ralph, both of whom are graduates of the University.
