Under 21 Women's Squad announced for Europeans
July 08, 2014
U21 National Women's Team
Ireland's U21 women will compete in the Europeans in Vienna Austria from Monday 14th July - Sunday 30th July. The squad of 18 to represent Ireland is listed below. Coach Passmore commented on his squad "This squad has a good balance of senior players and young talent with depth. The preparation period has been a challenging one with exams, players out of the country or involved in the senior squad resulting in the whole squad only coming together for the first time this week. The squad has benefited from a number of excellent coaches and current international players contributing to our training camps and regional training. Competition for places was stiff with several players being unlucky to miss out. We now have six days together before the tournament starts to build on the preparation to date and fine tune our set pieces. The new tournament format represents a challenge given there are no room for errors and we will need to hit the tournament running’
