Nicole Connolly – Crusaders Newtownabey Strikers

“I never thought that the day would come so quickly. At just 15years old, making my debut for NI Seniors was an amazing experience. It was an honour to wear the green jersey and play alongside such quality players. I am privileged and thankful to get this opportunity and I hope that with more hard work and dedication there will be more to come”.
Kendra McMullan – YMCA Ladies

“I feel very privileged to be given my debut game against Scotland at the age of 16. It was very exciting and also a great honour for me. I am learning from the coaching staff (Alfie and Gail) and from the other players. It is also self-rewarding and makes the trips from Londonderry worth it when you pull on the NI shirt”.
Marissa Callaghan – Cliftonville Ladies

“Getting called up to the Seniors Women’s NI squad was both very nerve wrecking and exciting for me. Making my debut for NI Seniors against Scotland was a very proud moment for not only me but also my Club. I found the coaching staff and players very supportive being part of the squad for the first time. It was an honour for me to play alongside such experienced players and I hope to gain more experience in the squad to improve on my self-confidence and ability in the game. I am very thankful to be given such a great and exciting opportunity”.
Simone Magill – Mid Ulster Ladies

“Getting called up to the NI Seniors squad for the International Friendly against Scotland was a great honour. I am very thankful that I was given the opportunity to play in this game as I have learnt so much from the players and the coaches. It was a really exciting and proud moment for me to step onto the pitch and I know that my family and all at Mid Ulster Ladies were delighted for me. I intend to keep working hard at both my Club and Country football because for me, nothing feels better than putting on that NI shirt and singing the National Anthem”.
