Multi-talented Armagh footballer Caroline O'Hanlon will have the honour of flying the Team NI flag at today's Commonwealth Games opening ceremony which is about to get underway.

O'Hanlon is also captain of the Northern Ireland netball team that will compete at the Games which are taking place in Australia's Gold Coast and the 33-year-old has been selected as the flag bearer.

"I was shocked to be selected from what is a fantastic group of athletes here in Gold Coast," the three-time All-Star said.

Congratulations and best wishes to @cohanlon9 who will lead TeamNI as official flag bearer in the Opening Ceremony for Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. #GC2018 #ShareTheDream pic.twitter.com/7OsdG4wLHa
