Gallienne picked for England U18s

ALICE GALLIENNE will represent England for the second year running this autumn after making it into the under-18 indoor nets squad.

Despite still only being 15, the Guernsey girl, pictured, has followed up her incredible achievement of playing for the international under-21 team last year by being selected for the younger group.

It came after she impressed at trials in March and she is part of the 12-player England squad who will travel to South Africa for the World Age Group Championships, which also involves the hosts and New Zealand.

Those six-a-side and seven-a-side tournaments in Johannesburg both start in mid-September and Gallienne will be training with the squad every weekend until then.
