Gene Muller has six new arrivals in his Celtic Cup squad for this weekend with a number of players impressing following the Junior Celtic Cup in Edinburgh last week.
Armagh's Lizzie Colvin, Ballymoney's Megan Frazer, Victorians Michelle Harvey and Pegasus' Kate McConnell have all made the jump from the 'A' panel to take part this weekend. Emma Grey, meanwhile, steps in between the posts for the rested Mary Goode while Loreto's Niamh Small returns to the squad. UCD's Christine Quinlan retains her place.
Coach Muller was hopeful to blood new caps, saying of the upcoming tournament "The Celtic Cup provides an opportunity to a young Irish Team at the start of a new Olympic Cycle. The team includes five new caps as we also decided to rest a number of our more experienced players”.
