More good news about Nicola Caunt a member of Cliftonettes for the past 3 years. Nicola has been selected into the England Netball Talent 2 (U19). This is a major achievement along her route towards full international honours.

Nicola has progressed along the Excel Pathway from school, club, county representation, Regional Talent, Loughborough Lightning Development squad, EN Talent 1 (U17) & now Talent 2. This has required dedication, hard work, commitment & a positive attitude as well as her outstanding playing ability.

We wish Nicola every success and will follow her progress through the EN website, the magazine & hopefully the media. Well Done Nicola!!

 

Congratulations also to Rose Walker & Chavonne Duckworth both U16 players on their selection for the Loughborough Lightning Development squad & participation in the England Netball National Talent League this year. They are progressing along the England Netball Excel Pathway for talent development in the sport.
