Irish U18 Girls Panel Announced
February 17, 2016
Following a recent selection series at St Gerard’s School and Queen’s University the U18 panel has been reduced to a training squad of 22. This squad will train towards a test series against Scotland at the University of Ulster this Easter, from which the final squad of 18 players will be selected for the EuroHockey Youth Championship in Cork from 24th/30th July.
After this selection Head Coach Steven Arbuthnot was quick to praise the training group.
“From the new year we had been working with a group of around 30 players, where the technical ability of all the girls was of a very high standard. My team and I reflected on Monday afternoon after a tough camp, how we had noticed significant improvements in some targeted areas. With the level of play being so high the group should be commended for making selection a difficult process for us. I would like to praise the efforts of all those involved and I am very much looking forward to taking this group forward in the coming months as we prepare for a competitive series against our Scottish neighboursâ€.
