Michele transferred from Leicester
City after their demise, in September 1999. (Should have done this sooner.)
She played in the team that won promotion from Division Two to Division One
and then played in the women's inaugural season in the top flight. She now
puts that experience to good use and is helping the 2nd team to win promotion
again. Michele's now trasnferred to the first team, but we hope to have her back soon!
Michele is also Riga's General
Secretary the email address for which is generalsecretary@rigavolleyball.com
