Hobbies Driving, all sport and of course football.
Mandy began her footballing career with Calstock Ladies in 1973, she then went to Tiverton Ladies for two seasons, and then joined Exeter Ladies. With two seasons at Exeter Mandy decided to move on and went to Kingsteignton for one season and then back to Tiverton for another season. Mandy eventually settled back at Exeter and joined us again towards the end of last season. Mandy has the flair and skill of a very good player and can often use her skill to score very important goals Although Mandy admits to disliking hard training. she has worked hard this season to get fitter than she has been for a long time, and this shows in her sprinting and her determination to get through a defence when on the attack. Mandy has one of the most direct and powerful shots and isn't afraid to have a go if the chance occurs".
She had also played the Western League and South Western League in representative games.
