THREE members of Oldham Netball Club have an eye on next summer's World Youth Cup in Botswana.

Goal shooter Amy Clinton, wing attack Iona Darroch and centre/wing defence Gabriella Marshall have been included in the England under-21s long squad.

The 20 girls will be put through their paces at a series of training camps in Loughborough and in competitives matches over the next few weeks and months with a view to final selection.

Clinton, Darroch and Marshall were members of the triumphant England under-21s team which recorded three wins out of three to take the Netball Europe title.

All the games took place at the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff, where the young Roses beat Northern Ireland 101-26, Scotland 81-24 and the hosts 88-18.
