The squad is captained by Ally Thomas and will be hoping to better last season's fifth place finish. 

Tameside make their home debut on Sunday against Cumberland at the Belle Vue Leisure Centre.

In other news at the club, a string of players have been selected to take part in the Manchester Thunder Performance Programme.
