Hockey Ireland senior women’s coach Sean Dancer has named a 23 player national squad panel ahead of a busy 2022 which includes July’s World Cup and August’s EuroHockey Championship qualifiers.
As part of preparations ahead of a busy summer, a 19 player squad will travel to Japan in the next few weeks
“As we get closer to the World Cup, it is important that the group narrows and focuses. We have been impressed with some performances of the younger and wider squad players, and we are looking forward to seeing how they compete in our next challenge in Japan”
