“They have all demonstrated an exceptional work ethic and strong leadership skills throughout the last 18 months and beyond.”

 

Nikki said “I am delighted to finalise the 12 athletes selected to represent Wales Netball at the U21 Netball Europe competition in November.”

 

“This group of athletes have shown incredible resilience, patience and determination throughout the challenge of 2020 and all the disappointments they have experienced.”

 

“This talented group has a fantastic blend of athletes who all bring different strengths to the group”

 

“I am excited to see them bring them together and finalise our preparations in a couple weeks time, and to see them put their hard work to the test back on the European stage after a two-year break.”
