Squad for Lousada

29 January 2009

Coach Richard Malone this morning announced his squad for the upcoming European indoor championships, to be held in Lousada Portugal this Februray. Commenting on the squad Malone described it "as the ideal blend of youth and experience, which will allow us to be competive in Portugal this Feb!" There are a number of youth internationals in the squad such as the likes of Tara Melvin, Lynsey Trainor, Jessica Mc Nickan and Freddie Timmins this couple with top indoor goal scorer Eavan Murphy should provide the Galway side with a serious challenge. The side is also boosted by senior club players such as Grace Melvin, Claire Heskin, Maeve Faherty, Elaine Newell not to mention stalwart Emma Glanville. Probably the most surprising inclusions are the two youngest members of the squad Michelle and Elaine Carey, Michelle who was part of the team that claimed the national championship last year is now joined by her younger sibling Elaine who will just turn 14 prior to the commencement of the tournament.
