Three Deeside junior girls have been selected for the England Under 13 squad to play in a prestigious youth tournament in Canada.
Violet
Foster-Noble and sisters Savannah and Hallie Morgan will be flying across the
Atlantic to take part in the 67th International Pee Wee Tournament that is
being held in Quebec City from 10th to 21st February.
It
is the biggest pee wee tournament in the world, attracting over 100 teams from
across the globe, and is based at the city’s 5000-seat Pavillon Guy Lafleur - and
the highly impressive 18000 capacity Centre Videotron arena.
All
three girls play for the Dragons Under 16 girls team that won through to the
women’s national play offs last season - and also for the junior mixed teams at
various age groups, having come up through the Deeside development system.
Hallie
has already had some international experience, having played for the England
U13s Girls in a tournament in the Czech Republic last season but this will be
the first outing in an England shirt for Violet and Savannah.
Needless
to say, there is a lot dedication and commitment involved in the sport –
particularly when it comes to playing at an international level - with travel
down to London for England training camps coming on top of regular local club
sessions.
The
costs quickly mount up with training fees, equipment and travel - and flying
out to Quebec for the pee wee tournament will represent a significant extra
cost.
The
girls are looking for sponsors to help them get to Canada and would be pleased
to hear from anybody who is able to support them.
Interested
individuals or companies are requested to visit the girls’ fundraising pages in
the first instance where they can find out more about the players and what they
are hoping to achieve.
