Clubs and schools are invited to nominate players to attend the trials for the Munster U18 girls by emailing each player’s name, position, school and/or club to munsteru18girls@gmail.com. The deadline for nominations is Friday 16th March. Any player born on or after 1/1/2001 and before 1/1/2003 is eligible to trial.
In previous years, this trial process has been made more difficult for coaches and management due to the volume of players involved. To ensure each girl gets a fair trial and has the best opportunity to be seen, we would strongly encourage you to please only send players whom you believe have the potential to represent Munster.
Information about the first trial will be posted on the Munster Hockey website in due course.
If you have any queries, don’t hesitate to contact us at the above email address.

The Munster Branch are urgently calling for nominations for the role of Vice President. The Vice President would assist the current President Finbarr Kelleher in his role and would be expected to step up to the role of President once Finbarr’s term is completed. The constitution states that there should be a gender balance in the role of President so we are ideally looking for a woman.
Hockey in Munster will not start until this critical role is filled.
Anyone interested should contact secretary@munsterhockey.com.
