Isle  of Wight netball player Matilda Moore  has seen her team go from strength to strength, and she has been at the heart of the action.

Matilda recently got herself a place in the Northern Ireland junior team.

She has just returned from the European U17 Championship in Gibraltar.

Northern Ireland were in the lower group, the challenge rather than the championship, but won all their matches and won the group which will put them in a play off to be promoted to the championships.

Matilda, of Cowes, was in the starting seven for all the matches as goal attack.

The team played Israel, Gibraltar, Switzerland and the Isle of Man.

She flew back on Sunday evening and went straight to Loughborough to join her school team, Millfield, at the final four of the Sisters in Sport schools cup (an FA cup style knockout) on Monday.

They won their semi-final and lost the final on golden goal after a draw at full time.

Matilda previously attended Gurnard Primary School and Ryde School, and started playing netball for Gurnard Netball Club when she was eight  years old.

She went on to play for the Island's Shorwell club, Swan Netball Club and the Hampshire Academy.  

Matilda joined Millfield's lower sixth in September as a talented shooter, and is also a part of the Team Bath Performance Pathway.
