The club, who are celebrating a decade of play in the BNA, have been impressive during a 2-2 start in their first year of top tier action.

In Saturday's latest game Superstars went down 49-36 to new competition leaders Panthers, who remain the only unbeaten team in the competition.

United never lost sight of Panthers throughout the game and forced their experienced rivals to work hard for their victory.

Superstars United's A grade coach Michelle Pratley said it's a wonderful feeling to see the club take the step up to the top tier.

"Superstars Netball Club has been participating in the competition for the past 10 years. This year we have 15 teams competing ranging from netta right up to A grade," she said.

"It is very exciting for the club to have a team competing in the A grade draw for the first time this year.

"It was fantastic to welcome onboard seven experienced players into the Superstars A grade side. They bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to share amongst the team."

Superstars are part of a three-way battle pack fighting for the valuable fourth place.

Scots All Saints College, Superstars and Nova Sky all sit on eight points with three rounds remaining before the competition splits into A grade and A reserve grade draws.

Pratley said the team's thriving at a new level.

"The group have a range of abilities that have gelled together in such a short space of time," she said.

"The team is focused on development whilst staying competitive. More than half the players within the team haven't played A grade before, these players are stepping up and showing great netball.

"We look forward to playing each week and are enjoying the A grade competition."

Pratley said despite Saturday's defeat there's reasons to be proud of the scoreline.

"I was very impressed with the teams performance across the court considering it is only their fourth game together," she said.

"The girls will work together to fine tune areas of their play for the remainder of the season."
