Three Team Bath players are preparing to compete at next week's inaugural World University Championships in South Africa.

Kadeen Corbin, Yasmin Parsons and Mia Ritchie are members of the 12-strong Great Britain squad for the tournament, which will take place in Cape Town.

They have been finalising their preparations with their international colleagues at the University of Bath this week.

All three Team Bath players are sports performance students and helped the university win the BUCS Championships this year for the first time since 2008, as well as appear in the Fiat Superleague.

They are receiving support from the Alumni Elite Athlete Fund, made possible by donations from University of Bath graduates, to help with the costs of competing at the championships. The trio also each receive a Trendell Scholarship.

Eight teams will contest the championships, with Great Britain starting on Monday with what is likely to be a tough fixture against Jamaica.

That will be followed by games against Namibia on Tuesday and Uganda on Wednesday, with the following three days hosting the knockout stages.

The other teams involved are South Africa, USA, Ireland and Zimbabwe.
