Netball Northern Ireland Warriors Selection
A squad of 15 Warriors have been selected for December’s Test series vs ROI Emeralds.
Sheonah Forbes, NI Warriors Head Coach
“I cannot wait for my first test series with the squad, especially with it being on home soil. We have been really busy since I have come into the position of NI Warriors Head Coach and the squad has been progressing well. It will be great to get out there and see the squad on court against our neighbours.”
Karen Rollo-Stewart, NNI Executive Manager
“I cannot wait to see our Warriors back on court in a home test series. The work behind the scenes from the entire squad, management and performance team has been phenomenal, with huge commitment and buy in from everyone to drive the Warriors forward both on court and off. It will be great to see them do what they love, and we are thrilled to be competing against our close neighbours, ROI Emeralds, who have been putting out some incredible performances over the last 12months.”
