ENGLAND'S netball chiefs don't believe in leaving anything to chance and that means ten days hard labour for Bury's Tracey Neville.

The 20-year-old, who returns to her BSc (hons) studies at the University of Western England in Bristol next month, is off to Kuala Lumpur this weekend for ten days of acclimatisation training ahead of next year's Commonwealth Games.

Travelling with Tracey in the advance party will be England captain Fiona Murtagh and head coach Mary Beardwood Tracey has so far amassed nine full England caps since she broke into the team twelve months ago and is a certain member of the squad that will seek gold in Malaysia.
