Winchester Netball Club

I'm Kate, I joined WNC in January 2017 when the team was looking for a shooter.

Previously, I played netball for Brunel University and West Harnham in Salisbury. As well as netball, I also play football and basketball. 

I'm currently out injured with a ruptured ACL and hoping to return to playing in 2019. I usually play GS or GA but have played the odd occasion in defence.

I have been a member of Winchester Netball Club since it started in March 2000 and have helped the first team progress from division 5 to prem.
I am a C award umpire and club Chair as well as Storm Team Captain and the Website Manager..... I like to keep busy!

I play WD, C, WA.

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.

I first joined Winchester Netball soon after it first started, had a spell away for 5 years after my second child but am now back playing again!
