HOCKEY: CATHERINE Forshaw has England hopes and Olympic dreams.
She is the 17-year-old goalkeeper already picked for the North Under 18s and there is still a possibility of an England call this season.
Realistically, she stands a better chance next time around.
'That's my goal,' she said. 'I want to carry on playing through university. There's no money in hockey but I definitely want to play for England and even Great Britain. The Olympics would be amazing but there's a long way to go.
'I love playing goalkeeper. It's the best position, great fun, though at times you can be left in a hopeless position. But I can get angry at my de-fence and I shout constantly.'
Catherine, of Dalefords Lane, Sandiway, is a sixth former at Queen's School, Chester, and plays for Deeside Ramblers, who are mid-table in North One, two levels below the national game.
She has had three England trials and the squad is still being finalised, following the northern tournament.
Catherine added: 'They said they would inform us before Christmas, so you never know...'

David Hunt's opener was followed by two Trinity goals before Park Leigh's equaliser before the break.
Rick Jagielka's fierce drive edged them in front, only for Manchester to equalise again. Glory at last went to Paul Stackhouse.
Winnington Ladies 2nds were knocked out of the Cheshire Cup by Timperley 2nds at Sir John Deane's College. Park came close to bridging the three division difference in stature. Clare Johnson scored, Katie Burrows was outstanding.
