So after nearly a year of being tied to a machine to keep his ❤️ going my brother Richard received a heart transplant this week. Whilst he has a long recovery ahead we are truly grateful. Thank you to all of our friends (and strangers) for your good wishes and prayers 🙏
Ok so this tweet is from a club perspective!
@FadojuFunmi
take a bow 🔥 I couldn’t be more proud!
@jadeyclarke
played C for the whole match and smashed it 🙌 🌹❤️💕🖤
Extending my congratulations to
@LboroLightning
- and giving all our
@Pulse_Netball
players and staff all of my thanks for their hard work this season 💗🖤 League winners and Finals silver medalists 🔥
Lots of talk about England players being picked up by SSN - if
@EnglandNetball
and the NSL does not move to professionalise in the immediate future - we will continue to see the continued loss of our talent (players and coaches) abroad. Thoughts please?
No way I’m going to sleep tonight! So delighted on so many levels. So proud to be the CEO of this club - record sales for fans and a brilliant squad on the court and awesome volunteers off the court that just gave everything 🔥💗🖤
#ProudtobePulse
One of our precious dogs died last night at home. We are all heartbroken to have lost such a wonderful loving woofer. Life with be the same without Sketchy 💔
I first coached
@kira_rothwell
on a holiday camp in St Vincent! I’ve loved working with her at England and Pulse. Nobody owns an athlete - it’s our job as coaches to help them reach their potential - it was time for her to move and develop in another environment. Love always 💗
This makes my heart sing. I coach both players - one’s a superstar 19 year old and the other is a 14 year old star in the making 🥰 netball role models
@FadojuFunmi
Proud to be appointed as Director of Netball
@Pulse_Netball
today - thanks to
@SkyNetball
for a fun visit and to the presenters for making Daisy's day 🖤💗
I never sleep well on a match day - but this might help - making history with our club with its best ever position in the table ..

💗🖤
So delighted and honoured to be part of the coaching group for this tour. I’ve loved seeing the athletes in camp for the last 4 weeks and excited work with these athletes selected ❤️🌹
New cycle, new faces 🌹
A 14-strong Vitality Roses squad, including seven potential debutants, has been named for the upcoming series vs.
@SilverFernsNZ
💪
ℹ Members of the Netball World Cup playing group and staff will take a planned break.
A huge thank you to both of my teams
@Pulse_Netball
and
@TurnfordNC
u15 for the cards and care packages - tomorrow I go in for my knee replacement surgery ❤️🩹 feeling the love 💕
Delighted to have secured two amazing 5 star apartments for our
@Pulse_Netball
athletes on Olympic Park. Providing first class accommodation is part of our mission to put the best athletes in the best environment to live and work

Family, Netball, friends and dogs form my whole life - but the work Jason is doing on the Post Office Inquiry is a reminder of much more important issues at stake for many people

Painful loss for us 😭- Aussies were outstanding today. When the dust settles a silver medal at the World Cup is a wonderful achievement
@EnglandNetball
🌹
I’m sad to report that our outstanding
@Pulse_Netball
co-captain
@HalimatShadia_x
has sustained a lateral meniscus tear and will miss the rest of the season. I’m so proud of Hali’s performances this year and we will be supporting Hali in a strong recovery back to the court💗🖤
Don’t forget there’s lots of talent flying to NZ right now to take part in the World Fast5 - lots of excellent young Roses talent will be on display 🌹🔥

Reading the game 📖
In her second outing on the international stage yesterday,
@FadojuFunmi
contributed two interceptions, two turnovers and six deflections 👊
Thrilled for 8 of our players to be selected for The Vitality Roses and Future Roses programme - it’s a testament to their hard work and hard graft. Our club aims to produce more in the future. A club record broken 🌹💗🖤

Huge congratulations to
@CoachLisaA
and Lisa B and the whole u21
@Pulse_Netball
squad and staff on a fine win 🥇 in the NPL Grand Final. Proud CEO 😊
U21 CHAMPIONS 💗🖤🎉
A shout out to my brother Richard - who remains in hospital waiting for a heart transplant- been four months and counting. When the day is hard it’s important to have perspective ❤️
Very proud of the
@Pulse_Netball
players representing England at Fast 5 (past and present) our pathway is doing it’s job! Emma; Jayda; Ellie; Zara and Liss 😍💖🖤🌹
Every national team has its own culture - in the U.K. we are trying to create strong women who are confident and give their best. That doesn’t necessarily guarantee winning every time. The Roses players I know couldn’t be more dedicated and respectful to the opposition. 🌹 ❤️
I can’t tell you how excited and proud I am of Daisy -who has been selected into the Hertfordshire County Academy u13 Netball squad! Thanks to all the fab coaches for helping her develop so far
#proudMama
Very excited and honoured for our club
@Pulse_Netball
to be providing practice matches for
@NetballNZ
this evening and tomorrow. Grateful for the opportunity 😊💗🖤
What a pleasure to be involved with this inspiring coaching and staff team. I’m so delighted for the player cohort - represented the 🌹 with full heard and wonderful netball ❤️
Reflections on World Fast 5
1. England have great players in the pipeline 🌹 - let’s create more chances and more investment in our Academy
2. Australia so dominant at world level right now
3. South Africa and Uganda to be ignored at our peril
4. Bring on
@NetballSL
Serena - the emotion in your voice also made me well up!! What a captain, leader and brilliant all round person you are. Exciting times ahead for you and your family. Couldn’t be more delighted for you all - and clearly netball is on your bones and hopefully your genes 😀💗
Very proud of Daisy gaining
an invite to the Roses Academy programme 2023-24 selection camp. Thanks to Alicia for being the example for Daisy to try to emulate - speed; skill and power 💗
#rolemodel
#seeitandbeit
Couldn’t be prouder of our squad today. Such high quality play from both teams - demonstrates the huge strides we have made as a club 💗🖤
@Pulse_Netball
🔥
A super end to a super game of netball 🤯
Separated by just three goals, both
@thundernetball
and
@Pulse_Netball
left everything on court 🙌
It's league-leaders Thunder who come away with the victory, though! ⛈️
Well said Sara - those of us contributing our thoughts to selection decisions also do so in good faith - we make 15 people happy and many more sad .. we do not take the responsibility lightly and we have empathy for those successful and those not on each occasion
Feels apt that some NWC squads will be announced during
#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
. If no-one can even nearly agree, then maybe it's not such an easy job to pick a 12/15. Also, spare a thought for what players are going through, selections in-season are tough
#happilyretired
Huge thanks to the selectors for all of their time over the weekend - a huge job selecting from over 800 trialists for
@PulsePathway
@Pulse_Netball
💗🖤 my thanks to the amazing umpires, coaches and staff for delivering such an efficient trials weekend 🔥
When you have been netball friends for a lifetime!! Competitors this evening / friends into the night with a bottle or two 🍷reminiscing of time gone past as England team mates 🌹❤️
We are so incredibly proud of all of our Roses:
Vitality Roses Programme 23/24:
Hali, Funmi, Berri, Chelsea, Ellie, Alicia, Olivia
Future Roses Programme 23/24:
Darcie, Jade P, Ashleigh, Freya
World Cup Roses: Jade, Chelsea, Funmi, Olivia & Hali
🌹💗🖤
When you know and care about a player like G it’s heartbreaking to see her be in pain. G lights up a room with her sunny disposition and despite the relaxed exterior she is a determined person and will work hard to recover from this nasty injury

#ANZP2023
Such a mix of emotions today - my thoughts with those who have lost out in particular - but so proud of the staff; partners; players and fans at London Pulse that have enabled us to be part of this new era of professionalism for netball 💗🖤
Reflections on a draw today with our
@EnglandNetball
squad. We know we should have closed the game out - but we also know what the bigger picture holds for these young 🌹 many of whom can become world class in the next few years 🎉
#moretomorrow
Good things have happened this morning 1. Green lights in the school run 2. The car didn’t need defrosting 3. Great player chat with an athlete …. Im transferring this vibe to the 🌹 today and reckon a strong bounce back is on the cards 💪♥️
Huge thank you to coach
@AbiNaugher
for giving Daisy the opportunity to play up 3 years for
