Holmes and Axon named in Ulster squad

TWO Carrick girls have been selected for the Ulster Under 18 squad which is set to play in the Interprovincial Series in Dublin later this month.

Goalkeeper Jenna Holmes, from Carrick Grammar and Dawn Axon of Downshire were named as part of the team this week. The girls will compete with teams from Leinster, South East, Munster and Connaught at Alexandra College in the city.

The pair form part of a side which boasts no less than ten players who represented Ireland in the U17 squad at the recent World Youth Olympics and eleven players who tasted gold medal success in the UK School Games.
