15 July 2015 Scotland Ladies Head Coach Stuart Reid has announced his 2015 International Training Squad. Head Coach Stuart Reid is joined once again this year by assistants Scott Campbell and Eoghan Stewart as well as Physio Brian Slattery. The coaching team have attended several league matches across the country in the lead up to the squad selection. They also hosted two open trail sessions to give the players the chance to demonstrate skills, fitness and team work qualities. The initial pool of 25 players will attend training sessions on Sunday 16 August 2015 and Sunday 13 September 2015. The squad will be trimmed down to the final 20 players following the North v South matches on Sunday 27 September 2015. The final squad of will attend two further two training sessions in preparation for their match against Co Kildare’s All Ireland Intermediate team as part of the Shinty / Hurling / Camogie International Series on Saturday 24 October 2015 at the Bught Park, Inverness. Stuart Reid said, “The WCA coaching team are extremely happy with the training squad we have selected. It’s a slightly different way of doing things this year but we are confident that this is the best group of players we could have selected. There are still a lot of games to be played between now and the Sunday 27 September 2015 and the sheer depth of talent we had to pick from meant that it was important we gave the players every chance to prove themselves before we pick the final squad. Similar to previous years, each player will be given an individualised skill and fitness programme to work on as we will have to be at our very best to beat Kildare. They are a step up from last year’s opponents and have started their All-Ireland campaign very well so we will prepare ourselves accordingly. Every year we have been involved, the players have given everything to represent their country, they have always worked incredibly hard and we are really looking forward to getting started this year.” Scotland Training Squad 2015 Elizabeth McGregor – Badenoch & Strathspey The WCA are delighted to have the sponsorship of Loch Ness Gifts and Gellions Bar again for this year’s international |
