In part two of our eagerly-anticipated Rising Stars feature, we take a look at the best of Bristol’s sporting talent.

These are the names to remember – the men and women capable of winning a match with a sublime piece of skill, the true leaders, the stars who will leave UWE quaking in their boots! Read and take note!

What’s been the highlight of your sporting career?

The highlight of my netball career so far? Hmm, I’d have to say making the netball team for starters! It’s such a high level club! But this year, being made captain of the 2s has been such a privilege!

Where do you see yourself in two years’ time?

In two years’ time, I would love to see myself on a training contract with a high-flying law firm! And I hope to still find time to be running around a netball court

What major awards/competitions have you won?

One of the best competitions we won last year was the league, seeing us promoted into the same division as the 1s. And can’t forget winning Varsity, smashing UWE!

Craziest thing you’ve done on a social?

I’m not sure if it’s particularly crazy, but I managed to smuggle eggs into DORMA last year and played netball with them on the dance floor.

What’s been the highlight of your hockey career?

My highlight would be a toss-up between being asked to captain the Repton 1st XI Hockey team in my final year having played in the team for 5 years, and the 2011-12 season where I won four U18 National Championships (indoor and outdoor for Repton School and indoor and outdoor for Beeston Hockey Club).

Where do you see yourself in two years’ time?

In two years’ time I hope to still be playing for the University of Bristol Ladies Hockey Club’s 1st XI (whilst hopefully doing well in my law degree).

What major awards/competitions have you won?

I have won four Outdoor U18 National Championships (three for Repton School and one for Beeston Hockey Club) and I have won three U18 Indoor National Championships (two for Repton School and one for Beeston Hockey Club) – so seven National Titles.

Craziest thing you’ve done on a social?

Something I did which was slightly crazy, but more of a “personal achievement” would be being the first to do a ‘strawpedo’ followed by drinking a pint of snakebite in La Rocca.
