Revington names revised panel

Paul Revington named his revised Irish Squad this morning for the Scotland series, taking place October 2-4 in Banbridge in the wake of Argentina pulling out of a scheduled triple header at the end of September.

The significant changes has seen the need for Revington to revert to a more established squad for the Saturday fixture with five Pembroke and three Glenanne players now included.

As such, the league match between the clubs, scheduled for October 3, has been postponed.

As such, the squad for the first two games is the guts of the European panel with Phelie Maguire and Mikey Watt coming in for Alan Giles and Peter Caruth.

The panel for the Sunday game sees much of the extended panel named with only David Harte, John Jermyn, Conor Harte, Johnny Jackson, David Hobbs and Timmy Cockram retaining their place for the third game.

Ireland play the first of two matches with France this evening in Paris at 6pm.
