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). From battling fierce opponents to playing across all seven continents, she has faced 20 different countries throughout her netball career.
One of the standout moments of her career was her 50th cap at the Commonwealth Games in 2022, where she played against Scotland. As she takes the court for her 75th cap, Bethan’s win-loss record stands balanced at 37 wins, 36 losses, and 2 draws.

Words of Praise from Management

“It’s an honour to witness Beth reach such an incredible milestone with her 75th international cap. Her dedication to excellence both on and off the court has not only inspired her teammates but also set a standard for future players. This achievement is a testament to her hard work and passion for the game. With her skill and dedication, I have no doubt that reaching 100 caps is well within her grasp.”– Head Coach Emily Handyside.

“It’s an honour to present Beth with her 75th test cap. Beth is a truly special player, with a once-in-a-generation talent. She has had a fantastic netball career to date, and we are incredibly fortunate to have her as part of the Welsh Feathers family. She is an impeccable role model for aspiring netball players, consistently delivering at the highest level. Congratulations, Beth.”Sara Moore, Head of Performance.

Looking Ahead

As Bethan celebrates her 75th cap, the Welsh Feathers and netball fans across the world applaud her incredible contributions to the sport. Her journey is a testament to perseverance, passion, and excellence. Here’s to many more caps and achievements to come!
