I think it's absolutely fantastic that there are 8 ulster girls in the irish squad for Poland. Mick Mckinnon has done ulster hockey proud over the lasty few seasons in what he has achieved at Armagh and now at Irish level, well done Mick and keep it up. The Irish girls will do extremely well in Poland, go on girls, you can do it!!!!

Rebecca Dallas is only 13,perhaps 14 now but when squad was selected she was only 13!!!Paula ahving played with all the Irish girls before, u r in for a real surprise, they r an extremly disciplined team with the ability to do very well in poland. so instead of talking with your mouth how about we let the girls do their talking with their sticks and we'll jus see who the result favours

what age is R. Dallas?
If ur good enough, ur old enough and Becca is good enough. So let the experts pick the team. We have enough people being picked on the strength of family connections in both the ladies and mens under age teams and senior teams. So when a genuine talent comes along lets just give them the time and space to develop and play.

re john
yup, it's true and it is about time people in this country started blooding players as soon as they show the talent. Dallas will be an amazing talent.
i have already seen her drag flick at the youth games
ps, tall red hed, also irish javelin champ and a great footballer!

you should really do some research before you start mouthing in here! I watched the match and Ireland were really unlucky not to have won! so please stop causing trouble in here cause no1 wants it! The Irish girls all said the English girls were really nice and friendly and they seemed to have a great time, so why start causing trouble?!!
