No fewer than four Sports Direct Women's Premiership clubs are represented in the latest Northern Ireland senior squad ahead of this month's European Championship qualifiers.

Tanya Oxtoby's side face Malta and Bosnia and Herzegovina next week, and she has placed her faith in a dozen domestically based players for the games in Ta'Qali (12th July) and Windsor Park on the 16th.

League champions Glentoran Women lead the way with six players, namely Demi Vance, Joely Andrews, Nadene Caldwell, Chloe McCarron, Kerry Beattie and Emily Wilson.

There's also a strong representation from recently crowned League Cup winners Cliftonville Ladies. Defender Kelsie Burrows is joined by her team-mates from midfield Marissa Callaghan and Louise McDaniel, alongside Danielle Maxwell up front.

In goal Crusaders Strikers keeper Maddy Harvey-Clifford retains her place, while Linfield Women striker Keri Halliday completes the panel.
