Ulster Girls Set For U18 History
27 April 2007, 3:13 pm
By Paula Gunn
The final trials for the Ulster U18 Development Squad took place this week in Enniskillen and Belfast. Up to 70 girls have gone through training and trials in their respective areas since August after being selected from school/club based competitions.
These sessions have been coached by Regional Development Officer Joy Sparkes and Schools Development Officer Nathan Moore who felt the need for these squads as a result of the significant number of U18 girls playing in Clubs around the Province. The excellent work done in the schools has provided a vital link helping establish several new Clubs in Ulster over the last few years.

A Squad of 32 has been selected from these trials and will play Munster U18s in a friendly development fixture in Dublin on Sunday 13th May. Munster have already played an U18 fixture a few weeks ago against Worcester so this will be a big test for the Ulster girls who are still very much in the development stages at this level. Nevertheless it will be a fitting reward for these girls who have excelled in their commitment and skill development. It is hoped that this fixture will be a regular one, resulting in a proper competitive U18 Representative game when the girls reach that level. When they are18, these girls will filter into the Senior Development setup and in time the Ulster Senior Squad, providing a proper pathway and much needed player base for senior player development.
