Jo Gray

Jo has returned to NVL action for 2009-10 after a couple of seasons off. A reliable libero we are all pleased to see Jo return!

Zoe is another graduate of the 'Castle Junior ranks and is a formidable attacker on her day. In her first season in the NVL we have high hopes that Zoe will match her considerable potential.
