They join full international Jodi Ewart (Catterick); the 2005 English U15 champion Hannah Barwood (Knowle); Rachel Jennings (Izaak Walton) who returns to the side after an absence of a year; and Florentyna Parker (Royal Birkdale) who recently reached the quarter-finals of the British amateur championship.    
The team, which will be captained by Lisa Ball (Matfen Hall) will be bidding for a seventh consecutive win in the matches.
