The Canberra Capitals have decided that strong on court leadership is not for them in naming two players as co-captains for the upcoming season:
Nat Hurst and Jess Bibby have between them played on multiple continents in some of the world’s best professional leagues and will fittingly share the captaincy responsibilities when the Capitals tip off their season on Saturday afternoon against Sydney Uni at the AIS Arena. Capitals Head Coach Carrie Graf was naturally upbeat about the group’s choice and the advantages such a combination provided.
“The team has had input into these responsibilities and amongst a really positive mix of chemistry, Nat and Jess give us the right balance and direction strategically and emotionally,” Graf said.
