Welsh Feathers captain Bethan Dyke sits down for an in-depth conversation about the most exciting period in Welsh netball history. With Wales having achieved their highest ever world ranking of sixth — and currently sitting seventh — Dyke reflects on how far the programme has come and the collective effort behind the Feathers' recent surge. She speaks candidly about the challenges of competing at the highest level as a team whose players combine international netball with full-time careers, and the determination within the squad to continue climbing.

Dyke also discusses the importance of the Netball Super League to Welsh player development, the partnership between Wales Netball and the Dragons franchise, and how the squad is building towards both the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and the 2027 Netball World Cup. She highlights the emergence of young talent coming through the pathway and the competition for places that is pushing every player to raise their standards. "We've proven we belong among the best in the world," she says. "Now it's about making sure we're at the World Cup and showing what we can do on the biggest stage of all."
