Joy began her netball career in the B&DNL as a player for Wootton Pioneers, went on to play for Everglades and finished on the walking netball circuit. She trained and qualified as an umpire gaining her C Award and umpired for many teams across forty years. Many of you may remember her as a coach for Cranfield youngsters. Joy was always exceedingly helpful and willing to help any team with her umpiring, often at the last minute filling any gaps. She sadly passed away in March and will be greatly missed in netball circles.
