TWO Bury netball players are on the trail of international glory.
Tracey Neville, sister of Manchester United stars Gary and Philip, has been named in the full England squad to face Jamiaca in a test series, while Louise Crolla, the St Gabriel's teenager, is included in the young England squad for the coming season.
Fireworks will arrive twenty-four hours late at the Nynex Arena in Manchester when Tracey and her teammates arrive in town.
November 6 is when England tackle Jamaica in the second match of a three-Test series .
By then the sides will have met at the NEC in Birmingham and the matches are envisaged as being closely fought affairs for the teams took fourth and fifth places in the 1995 World Championships.
The England squad contains four of the players who achieved that result and for the current series the selectors have chosen to blend youth and experience.
