A place on the Northern Ireland Netball Squad for Emily Brownleader, a Gordon’s netball scholar.

Emily, who arrived in September in the Sixth Form, heard about the trials through social media and decided to have a go. She was thrilled to not only go through to the next round but end up in the short squad! “I was really happy, I didn’t really expect it, It was just a good experience to try”.

Once a month she now flies to Northern Ireland for netball camps, studying for her BTECs during the flight!

This weekend she will play wing attack for the team, travelling to Scotland for the Europe Netball Under 19 training event, playing against teams from all over Europe. Best of luck Emily!
