Here’s to 75 Caps and Counting: Celebrating Bethan Dyke!

Bethan Dyke has reached an incredible milestone: her 75th cap for Wales! The current Captain of the Welsh Feathers, Bethan’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable, with a career that has inspired both teammates and future generations of netball players.

Bethan made her debut on 30th May 2014, earning her first cap during a World Cup Qualifier against the Republic of Ireland. Since then, she has represented Wales in three Commonwealth Games (2014, 2018, and 2022) and competed in two World Cups (2015 and 2023).
