A New Era for Welsh Netball: Sarah Boswell Takes the Helm

Sarah Boswell steps in as the new CEO for Wales Netball and Cardiff Dragons, promising an inclusive future.

On January 10, 2025, Sarah Boswell was officially appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Wales Netball and Cardiff Dragons. With a rich background in sports, arts, and cultural initiatives, her most recent position was with the Welsh National Opera.

Boswell's transition into this pivotal role marks a significant milestone for both organizations. She succeeds Vicki Sutton, who gracefully stepped down as CEO at the end of 2024. Boswell, known for her dedication to advancing women's sports, expressed her enthusiasm for this new opportunity, stating,
"This is an exciting time for Wales Netball and Cardiff Dragons, and I am thrilled to lead these extraordinary organisations into a thriving and inclusive future."

Her appointment is seen as a turning point for netball in Wales, with a focus on enhancing participation and engagement across all levels. Under her leadership, Wales Netball aims to bolster its community outreach programs, ensuring that the sport is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or ability.

The Cardiff Dragons, a key component of Welsh Netball, will also benefit from Boswell's extensive experience. Plans are underway to boost the profile of the Dragons within the national framework, while also elevating their competitive edge in upcoming tournaments.

As netball continues to grow in popularity, both locally and internationally, Boswell's era is anticipated to usher in exciting developments and greater support for athletes and fans alike. The future of Welsh netball looks bright under her guidance, promising inclusive engagement and the aspiration for excellence.
