Speaking about the selection, Ireland’s Senior men’s coach Paul Revington said “It is crucial for Irish Hockey that this group of U-21 players are able to perform together at international level, and the 2010 Junior Celtic Cup arrives at just the right time for these players.
“The squad have worked hard together over the past few weeks and it will be good for them to finish this phase of training off with a quality performance in a tournament."
Corinthian’s Brian Doherty captains the sideand is joined in the panel by Leinster U-21 players Stephen Cole, Jonathon Kane, Stu Loughrey, Davy Carson and Mark English. Stephen West and Shane O’Donoghue step up from last year’s Ireland U-18s.
