Ireland Men's World League 3 Squad Announced
The men's squad for World League3 in Antwerp has been announced today by Coach Craig Fulton. The team selection comes off the back of 3 intense warm up series against Germany, France and Belgium. Speaking about the most recent matches against Belgium, Craig Fulton said "The two Tests we played in Belgium last weekend where positive, it showed that the team and players are on track. But we will need to add more detail to our performances in critical phases to get results, which we believe we can do".
Ireland will meet Belgium, China, Malaysia and Great Britain in the group stages of Pool B. The tournament runs from June 20th to July 5th and the Green Machine will first take to the pitch on June 23rd against Great Britain.
"Since World League 2 in San Diego the Irish squad have worked really hard together with aiming for successful World League 3 and Euros in mind. Final selection is never an easy situation for any coach or player and this was definitely the case for this group of players. We are all proud of the individual work done by the players to get as conditioned as they are right now and we look forward to World League 3 in Antwerp" said Craig Fulton.
