Alice is selected to play Netball for England! « Back
Netballer Alice Gallienne has become the youngest player on the UK's under-21 netball team. The 14 year old Blanchelande College pupil said she was amazed and thrilled when she was picked during trials in London and will be going to Brisbane, Australia in June 2012 to compete in the world series. There were only twelve places available - 'I was the last name to be read out' said Alice. 'I was overwhelmed when they read my name out'.
Her next big challenge is to find sponsorship. She needs to find £4,600 to cover her travel to Australia as well as fortnightly training sessions with the squad in London starting from January 2012.
Many congratulations Alice - this is an outstanding achievement!
