UCD pair get chance to shine as Muller names Irish squad

OPPORTUNITY knocks for two of UCD’s leading lights as Ireland senior women’s coach Gene Muller has opted to shake things up for his side’s trip to Argentina next month.

Following a disappointing European championships campaign, Ireland are Belgium-bound next March for their last shot at Olympic qualification.

Preparation time is therefore in short supply, but the team’s sponsors, ESB Electric Ireland, have helped fund this trip to South America, in which Ireland will play in two high-quality four nations tournaments also featuring India and South Africa.
