Northern Ireland's netball squad are preparing for their fourth consecutive Commonwealth Games. Their highest ever finish of seventh came 12 years ago in Glasgow.

Head coach Sheonah Forbes has selected an experienced squad, with only Evelyn McCagherty, Lauren Walshe and Orlaith Rogers competing at the Games for the first time.

They will be captained by versatile defender Michelle Magee, who spent the season in the Netball Super League with Birmingham Panthers.

Caroline O'Hanlon is the vice-captain and the Armagh GAA veteran will head to her fourth Games alongside Niamh Cooper and another centurion in Fionnula Toner.

Attacker Emma Magee, Michelle's older sister, is preparing for her third Games as is Lisa Bowman.

Frances Keenan, Georgie McGrath and Maria McCann were all part of the 2022 squad that finished 10th.
