Great Britain junior women

Profile

GB Junior Women played their first ever international tournament at the European Junior Women's Championship in 2003 in Estonia, coming 4th and winning Spirit. Only 3 of last year's squad can make it to Finland, Louise Kittow, Sarah Dawson and Hannah Parry, but what the team lacks in experience, it makes up for in energy, enthusiasm and a determination to have a good time. (Incidentally, Sarah and Hannah are the youngest players on the team at 16, definitely two to look out for in the future.)

Great Britain has between 15 and 20 Junior teams but only one junior women team in the country.

The team is made up of players from all over Great Britain, and although this is the first year the majority have played together there is a strong team spirit and plenty of talent. 

Players to be aware of:

Sally Cannon and Jane "GI" Towey are happy huckers; Olivia Nixson and Natasha Szczgbwska calm handlers; Samantha "Crumpet" Davies, Natasha G-B, Sarah Dawson, Julia Noble and Susanna Wallis enjoy running around lots in the middle; Lou Kittow and Rachel Kelly are great deep players (being tall does help); Hannah Parry is a demon on D; and Ellie Harris, Elaine Macrae and Jo Legg seem to enjoy playing in the wind and rain and throwing themselves in the mud at every opportunity. These women are afraid of nothing.
