ENGLAND NETBALL REVEAL SQUAD SELECTED FOR UNDER 17 EUROPE NETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Roses Pathway Head Coach Josie Pointon has selected a squad of 12 athletes who will represent England at the 2026 Europe Netball U17 Championships.
The tournament will be held at Aberdeen Sports Village, Scotland, from 6-8 March, and will see England’s U17 squad compete against hosts Scotland, the United Arab Emirates, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland in a round-robin competition.

England’s U17 squad won the competition in 2025, going unbeaten throughout the tournament. In what will be her first tournament since coming into the role at the start of 2026, Roses Pathway Head Coach Josie Pointon will be looking to continue England’s successful history in the competition with the 12-strong squad she has selected, which features three players who return from 2025: Deborah Adeyemi, Timi Adewale and Neveah Bowen.

Roses Pathway Head Coach Josie Pointon commented: “I’m really excited about this squad. There is a huge amount of talent within this group, and the U17 Europe Netball Championships is a fantastic opportunity for these young players to represent England on the international stage. This competition plays a key role in their development within our pathway, and for many, it will be the start of their Roses journey.”
