“I would like to thank all players for attending the trial last Sunday,” Coach O’Sullivan stated. “The standard of players at the trial was very high and made selection challenging for the coaching staff. I look forward to working with such a talented group for the duration of the programme.”

The squad will have training at St Mary’s College, Galway this Saturday and Sunday (February 17thand 18th) from 9:30 am on Saturday.
