“These athletes are great role models, all whom have full time jobs, or are studying full time and dedicate so much time and effort to their intense training and match schedules. These players sacrifice so much and to be able to represent your country at a Commonwealth Games is the pinnacle of their netball careers which they all deserve.”

“With a new management team and invigorated outlook, we know the squad will make us proud. We know our passionate and committed netball community will get behind the team and cheer them on across the pond. Good luck Team Wales!”
