In a thrilling development for Welsh Feathers, Bethan Dyke is set to share the captain’s armband with Nia Jones in their upcoming three-Test series against Uganda this January. This news comes on the heels of Ni Jones’s stellar leadership during the 2023 World Cup in South Africa, where Welsh Feathers made their mark on the international netball stage.
Under the watchful eye of head coach Emily Handyside, the squad has been trimmed down to a formidable 15 players who will take the court on the 10th, 12th, and 13th of January in 2024. Unfortunately, Nansi Kuti, Sarie Watkins, Clare Jones, and Millie Carter won’t be part of the action against Uganda when the games kick off in Cardiff.
Welsh Feathers, after narrowly missing out on the 2019 Netball World Cup, made an impressive comeback in the recent tournament in South Africa, finishing in ninth place. Now, they face the formidable challenge of taking on Uganda, a nation ranked two spots higher than Wales in the world rankings.
The co-captains, Nia Jones and Bethan Dyke, bring a wealth of experience to the team, making them strong contenders in the upcoming series. As they step onto the court, they’ll be leading a squad that includes Abigail Caple, Lucy Howells, Alex Johnson, Bethan Johnson, Zoe Matthewman, Leah Middleton, Caris Morgan, Ellen Morgan, Shona O’Dwyer, Megan Pilkington, Ella Powell-Davies, Georgia Rowe, and Phillipa Yarranton.
In the world of sports, moments like these are what fans live for, and the anticipation is building for the clash between Welsh Feathers and Uganda. With co-captains Jones and Dyke at the helm, this promises to be an electrifying series that fans of netball won’t want to miss. Stay tuned for some thrilling action on the court!
On a different note, if you’re a fan of true crime and suspense, there’s something equally gripping happening off the court. “Steeltown Murders,” a true-life drama, takes you on a journey back to the 1970s in Port Talbot, where three unsolved murders have haunted the community for three decades. Can DCI Bethall crack the case and unmask the serial killer who terrorized the town? It’s a cold case that has left an indelible mark on history.
