Emily Carroll Earns County Call Up

The 17 year old forward, who is equally adept in the second row or back row, has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign for Hartlepool Ladies this term.

She has played beyond her years and even captained the side at Stockton back in December

Following successful trials Emily is now in contention to play for Durham Women in their upcoming Gill Burns County Championship fixtures against Northumberland and Cheshire in May.

It won't be her first taste of representative honours this season, having played for Durham Under 18 Girls in January.

This is a fantastic achievement and everyone at the club is incredibly proud of her.

You can catch Emily in action this Friday night for Hartlepool Ladies when they host Houghton at Mayfield Park (7.30pm).
