Froeling’s chance to impress against Dutch
The Dutch tyro is a native of The Hague but qualifies for Ireland via her Carlow-born mother. Froeling fulfilled a selection criteria of travelling to every Irish training session, and the powerful drag-flicker has already proven her worth by notching four goals in two heavy friendly wins over France last week.
She is one of multiple threats in a side littered with experience that hopes to keep the feel-good factor going in Irish hockey, following encouraging performances from the senior teams this summer.
