Munster girls u16 trial

The first trials for the development phase of the Munster U16 Girls 2017 programme (March to June) will take place on Saturday March 11 at Garryduff Sports Centre, Rochestown, Cork from 11am-12.30pm and 12.30pm-2pm.

In a bid to avoid the issues of previous years, where excessive numbers of players who are not up to standard are sent to trial, the management are structuring these trials in a different manner. The players listed below are being invited to trial based on their performances in school hockey this season and with the Munster First Year Development and U16 squads in previous years.

Players should bring €5 each to the trial to cover pitch rental costs.
