THREE young Donegal footballers have been named on the Republic of Ireland Women’s squad for this week’s UEFA WU16 Development Tournament in Dublin.
Head Coach Sharon Boyle has named Zoe Green, Ciana Brogan and Caoimhe Walsh (all Lagan Harps) on her 20-strong panel.
The Irish girls will meet their counterparts from Austria, Denmark and Czech Republic over four days.
Their first fixture is against the Czechs this Friday at Gannon Park, Malahide (2pm).
Ireland will then meet the Austrians on Saturday at Home Farm FC’s Whitehall (4pm) then complete the tournament against the Danes on Monday at Gannon Park (11am).
Boyle’s side beat Northern Ireland 1-0 in a preparation game in Oriel Park last month so they will enter the tournament this week in positive form.
