We are thrilled to announce the appointment of our new league captains for the 2023-2024 season. These captains have been elected ready for the new Carlisle Netball Winter League which begins on Tuesday 26 September 2023. 

Penrith Swifts will be lead by Eleanor Holme, who enters her second year as the Swifts’ captain. She is one of Penrith’s most capped players and is on course to make her 50th appearance this season. Millie Coates joins her as the team’s vice-captain. She is a fantastic defender who is taking up a leadership role for the first time at Penrith. 

Penrith Lakers have two co-captains to steer them through the next league season. Sarah Richardson join the Lakers this season following a season with the Swifts as vice-captain, bringing her experience of captaincy to her new squad. Nichola Jackson takes up the mantle of co-captain alongside Sarah. Although she won’t be taking to court this season, Nic’s previous experience with the Lakers will stand her and the team in great stead for 2023-2024.

MARCH 2024 UPDATE: Lakers’ leadership team has now changed. Please see the League page for more information.

We cannot wait to take to court again with our new squads and captains. The first match, on Tuesday 26 September will be a Penrith derby, as Swifts and Lakers face off against each other, both hoping to take the win to start.
