Muller names Ireland squad

IRISH women’s hockey coach Gene Muller yesterday announced his squad to face Scotland in a three match series in UCD at the weekend.

Muller has recalled a number of experienced players to the squad who were rested in last weekend’s games against the Netherland Antilles.

Said Muller: “This will be our last preparation event before the Setanta Sports trophy in Dublin. The team is a more experienced than the one that played against the Netherlands Antilles, although we will be without the services of Linda Caulfield who is recovering from injury. Scotland will be a good test for us as they have a similar ranking to us and will be in a similar preparation phase.
