Gael Linn Squad Announced

Ulster Gael Linn coach Joe Passmore has named his squad for this years Inter-Provincial competition which is this year for Junior counties. Ulster do have the luxury of selecting five players from Antrim and these players are blended in alongside players from Down, Tyrone, Armagh, Monaghan and Cavan. The Gael Linn is played on a one day format with Semi-Finals followed by the Final which will be played on 19th May with the venue to be confirmed

Joe Passmore said: “We have assembled what we think is a good squad for the Junior Gael Linn. The county managers have been extremely helpful and I appreciate their support. One or two players have been unable to commit with work, study  and club and county demands on their time. That is perfectly understandable. Also for example Niamh Mallon is undergoing rehab for her knee injury and Karen Tinnelly is out of the country at the minute.”

“There are restrictions on the players that each Province can select at this grade. For instance we are not allowed to choose any players from Derry because they are now at Senior level. And we are only allowed to pick five from Antrim. So that affords players from the other counties an opportunity to play for Ulster which is fantastic for them. I think we have a decent team and these players are well capable of competing at this level. The response from the players has been very positive and enthusiastic.”
