Cheree is an Aussie who’s lived in England for over 9 years. A bit of a sports nut she started out at a young age playing Vigoro (a dying form of ladies cricket played in Australia with an odd shaped bat), indoor cricket and beach volleyball. Unlike most Aussie girls she was a late bloomer to netball and only started playing at the age of 20. That hasn’t stopped her from becoming thoroughly addicted over the last 10 years and she always seems to be playing, umpiring or doing something else else netball related. Cheree has been umpiring and Site Managing around London for the past 9 years so she will be a familiar face to some. Recently though she's keeping a bit of a low profile while she embarks on a new life challenge, being a mum. Cheree hopes to be back on the netball scene as soon as possible though and looks forward to catching up with all the Playnetballers old and new.

Sophie Lilley is the communications, branding and social skills expert for playnetball.com. Her job is to be younger than everyone else and keep us cool and trendy. By day she works in ballet and opera and by night she avenges crimes against good manners as her alter ego Cherry Chapstick. As a netballer she captains those perennial bridesmaids, the Nomads, in the stonkingly competitive Mixed A Grade. One day though, through careful poaching of players from other leagues and incessant on court yelping, she too will hold that fabled certificate.

Zoey Dowell, born in the midlands, raised in Luton, now a North Londoner to the core, works with kids for social services in a north London borough. Zoey has been involved in adult level netball for about 10 years now currently playing GD for her club Palmers Green in the London and South East Regional League. Back in her school/college days Zoey sported (not by choice) the GS bib with an impressive 50% shooting average! Zoey is a B award umpire with England Netball, working towards her A award and umpires regularly at regional level. Zoey is also a qualified netball coach.

Juls is yet another Aussie who can't get enough of playnetball. She's played competitive netball during the vast majority of her younger years (startign at 8) before injuries forced her withdrawal from playing at the ripe old age of 20 (though she's filling more and more these days). Luckily, she enjoyed umpiring as much as playing and has been involved with child, teen, adult ladies and mixed umpiring for 14years. In her spare time (aka when not at netball), Juls is a speech language therapist currently working hard in south London secondary schools. She has been involved with playnetball since her arrival to the UK in 2008 as an umpire, umpire trainer, friendly face, fill-in player and pub attendee.
