Teams – U19/18 BOYS – 2021

Four Nations Development Series (Under-19) – July 2021

Ireland’s Under-19 boys team will use an extensive squad for July’s Four Nations Development series with coach Simon Lowry giving his full panel of 34 players the chance to shine in this competition.

It will the side’s first games since early 2020 following the postponement of the Under-18 European Championships last summer and the subsequent withdrawal from this year’s refixed tournament due to Covid-19 regulations.

As such, Lowry is delighted to have this competition to work with the panel a year on and use it to develop Ireland’s next generation.

“After such a long and difficult break it is really exciting for all involved to be able to play some competitive international matches,” Lowry said. “We have taken this opportunity to focus on the development of a much wider group, giving 34 players exposure to play at an international level.

“It has been a tricky time with exams and various levels of lockdown but all of the lads involved have shown resilience and maturity beyond their years and there’s a positive atmosphere within the group going into these games.

“The presence of Will Bartley and Ronán Hickey in the management team has provided great continuity for the players and this is greatly appreciated by all. We’re all very much looking forward to the weeks ahead and seeing what this talented group can achieve.”

Coach Gareth Borland has named the Irish Under 18 squad along with 2 reserves who will take part in this summers 6 Nations tournament hosted in Nottingham from July 17th – 23rd.

Having trained with a large development panel all the players have made significant improvements to their game and physical condition over the last 9 months.

There were some difficult decisions to make in the final selection but we feel we have a great group of talented, highly versatile players.

Five of the squad are able to draw on their experiences from last years Europeans in Cork, while six others will be available for selection for next years Europeans in Santander.

We are grateful to Three Rock Rovers, Banbridge and Lisnagarvey for the use of their facilities while also providing us with opposition, along with Monkstown, in practise games.

As a squad we are looking forward to the upcoming tournament which will see us play against

Spain – July 17th

Netherlands – July 18th

Germany – July 20th

Belgium – July 22nd
