GAA star O’Hanlon humbled to lead Team NI on the Gold Coast at Commonwealth Games

Being selected as the official flag-bearer for Team NI at today’s Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony was richly deserved recognition for outstanding dual sportswoman Caroline O’Hanlon.

The Armagh ladies football star is in Australia as captain of the Northern Ireland netball team, having successfully combined both sports at the highest level for the past decade-and-a-half.

The 33-year-old doctor from Bessbrook will proudly lead the 90-strong Team NI, featuring athletes from 13 sports, into the Carrara Stadium for the lavish opening ceremony.
