National women’s head coach Angeline Chua has named a 46-member Digicel National Under 16 Girls’ extended squad in preparation for the OFC Under 16 Championship in Tahiti.
Chua confirmed the players were selected following a successful zonal trial that were held in Labasa, Suva and Ba last weekend.
“We had 69 players in the Northern trial, 43 in the Western and 30 in the Southern zone trials.”
