This week we’re updating you on all the exciting changes that have been happening within team South West.

We are thrilled to welcome back Lucy Lawrence as our Cornwall Netball Development Officer (maternity cover) from maternity leave with the gorgeous Sunny. Lucy is covering for Fern Noott following the birth of her baby girl Nyah in November. Lucy’s working days will be Wednesdays and Thursdays.

“I’ve just returned to EN after a year’s maternity leave (covering Fern Noott’s maternity leave as Cornwall NDO) since having my little boy, Sunny. He is a cheeky, smiley, noisy little lad and I am of course pushing a love of ball sports for him! I’m excited to dive back into all things netball, including returning to court myself, and helping as many others get on court as I can, in whatever way possible. I am passionate about enabling anyone to be able to be involved with netball, be it through playing, coaching, officiating or watching, at any age or ability! Please contact me on Lucy.Lawrence@englandnetball.co.uk (I work Wednesdays and Thursdays) if I can help with that or anything else.” Lucy Lawrence, Cornwall NDO

With Lucy covering Cornwall the lovely Jo Templeman will be staying on as the Somerset Netball Development Officer.
