Role of Honour

“Through out my first year at Exeter I’ve been representing the women’s first team, we came fourth nationally in the premier league and reached the semi finals of the cup. In addition at the BUCS individual championships I reached the semi-finals of the doubles, receiving a bronze medal. A shoulder injury during first term and the start of second term affected training and without the support of the scholarship I wouldn’t have been able to get back to fitness as effectively as I did”
