Incredible news for all the NI athletes,
Were incredibly privileged to have supported so many of teamni across this qualification and beyond.

You should all be extremely proud of taking a spot in the hardest and most demanding qualification process our sport has had to date for the games.

Everyone who started this journey put in the work against an ever increasing standard, and we're so very proud of everyone who gave their all in the process, and we're delighted for those of the team who ultimately got the spots for Glasgow.
