15-year-old Trunchion was one of the youngest players selected for an under 18 Great Britain squad that included players from all over the country, and she did all her South Coast Inline teammates from back home proud. She had been competing for her place in the team for almost a year, and her hard work was rewarded when she made the final squad and was chosen to fly out to Barcelona between June 27 and July 5 and battle it out against some of the best Junior Women's Inline Hockey teams from around the world.
Representing her country for the first time, goalkeeper Trunchion adjusted to the level very quickly, keeping a clean sheet in her first game and helping the team grow into the tournament.
