Zoe Aldcroft has added her name alongside Katy Daley-Mclean & Karen Almonds' as a world title winning captains of England. Only the third woman to lead the Red Roses to victory.
Previously available only on YouTube, listen back to KDM & Karen's conversation about England's win in 1994 & 2014.
Back in 1994, Karen lifted the trophy for the first time, twenty years before Katy would lead England to the same victory. The two trailblazers sit down in this episode of Diary of a Captain, to discuss the challenges, battles & joy that led to those two momentous moments in our sports history.

I enjoyed the mix of humor and insight in that piece—it’s always refreshing when sports writing captures both the spirit of the game and the personalities around it, rather than just the scores. Rugby especially has such a rich culture of camaraderie that shines through when it’s told with a bit of wit. It also made me think of Estafas Bizum, where personality and trust play a big role—except scammers try to fake that sense of connection. Do you think sports stories are more engaging when they focus on the players’ journeys, or when they stick to analyzing the matches? https://estafasbizum.es/
