Winchester Netball Club

I joined WNC when I was 15 yrs old. I was with the first team for almost 10 years, before I went and played for another club. After 4 years of being away, i've returned to WNC where I haven't looked back :-)
I've played College, University, Club and South Region netball and i've been fortunate to play up and down the court experiencing every playing position!
I currently play WD for Storm.

Jo Batey has been with the club since it began as a 10-week Back to Netball initiative funded by Winchester City Council. Coming from a basketball background it took her some time to stop dribbling the ball and snatching it out of other players hands. Her shot still looks more like a basketball shot than a traditional netball one after many years of playing! Jo is what is known as a bit of a 'one trick pony' in terms of playing positions having predominantly played GA throughout her time at the club. Occasional stints at GS and GD have also been known, but these have been the exception rather than the rule!

I joined the club in 2014 when I moved down from Edinburgh. I had been playing in a friendly league in Scotland and wanted to carry on playing when I moved. Since then, I have loved training and developing my game with the girls! I have played in almost every team at the club and have been playing in storm for the last 2 seasons. I absolutely love the intensity and challenge (and the laughter). I have learned so much from these guys. You will only ever find me in defence.... 

I joined Winchester Netball in 2010 and have now played in all three teams. I have played in a number of positions but I am currently GD in Storm and play in the Hampshire League.

I have been a member of Winchester for 7 years and I play C/WA for Storm.
