Kelsey's Euro dream


23/ 7/2008

HOLLINGWORTH basketball player Kelsey Bardsley is part of the England team flying to Estonia on Thursday as final preparation for this year’s European Championships taking place in Macedonia.

The 17-year-old, of Thorncliffe Road, flies out with the national team to compete in the Baltic Cup having just completed a nine-day training camp in Derby.

Selection comes after a season in which she top-scored with 22 points as Manchester Mystics’ under-18s team lost their National Cup final, while the club’s senior team reached the Final Fours play-offs at Sheffield’s Institute of Sport.

Her selection for Great Britain last year means Kelsey is being tracked as a potential Olympian for the 2012 and 2016 Games.

The award of a ‘silver passpot’ means she has received assistance with access to local training facilities, discounted equipment and and medical treatment.

The 2008 European Championships take place from August 4-16.
