The Welsh netball
squad for the forthcoming European Championships in Aberdeen has been selected.
Head coach Melissa Hyndman picked 12 players plus two non-playing
training partners for the campaign. Nia Jones is the only uncapped player
included in the squad.
The annual event kicks off on Friday and runs till Sunday,
seeing Wales face England, Scotland and Northern Ireland in a bid to lift the main
prize. There is also the chance to gain ranking points to ensure qualification
for the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
Hyndman said: “I’m really excited coming off a very successful
NSL season. I'm happy NSL has finished, and we can take that energy and
everything we’ve learned forward into Netball Europe.
“This is more important than NSL because we need to get the
points to qualify for [the] Commonwealth Games. I have never been this
confident going into a European Championship.”
