EGREMONT ABC's Billie Donaldson has been picked to represent the North West region in an International Box Cup.
In the 70kg category on September 28, Billie along with the other eight female athletes will fly out to Soderkoping in Sweden.
Billie was on an assessment day last month and the coaches were impressed with her performance on the day and her dedication to the sport.
Last season Billie had nine other contests, winning the Women’s Winter Box Cup getting two to the semi-finals of the Golden Girls Box Cup in Sweden, and boxing a GB international in the semifinals of the national championships giving a very spirited performance.
Alan Toole, one of Billie's coaches, is pleased this opportunity has come for Bille this will be her first bout of the season and hopefully she will bring home the gold for her region and club
