Jumping for intercepts (hence yet another nickname ‘Flying Flick’)

Most talented team mate
This is really tough as all my team mates have different strengths. I would say Ally for the fact that she always gives 100%, Tanisha for her awesome intercepts, Anya for her holding in the circle, Anna for her long arms (a shame that they often give the impression she is obstructing!), Cerys for being bonkers and keeping us all entertained, Deanna for always being where I want her to be and throwing the best over-circle passes and Gwenno for her top-notch shooting.
Best game played in
No idea! I forget all games instantly that I come off court!
Best opponent faced
Molly (Llandudno) because she is constantly on the move and always keeps me guessing.
Netball idols
Not a player, but John Fox – what that man doesn’t know about umpiring isn’t worth knowing and I do love the umpiring life.
Other sports you play
Wakeboarding – the best sport in the universe!

To play for county.
