Women: Four Ulster Players in 2014 World Cup Extended Squad.

, , ,

There are four Ulster players in the Ireland Women’s 33 player training squad for the 2014 IRB Women’s World Cup, which takes place in Marcoussis, France in August.

As expected Asheligh Baxter, Grace Davitt, Stacey Lea-Kennedy and Larissa Muldoon all made the squad having featured in Ireland’s recent Six Nations campaign. Unfortunately Amy Davis, who also featured strongly in the Six Nations matches, misses out through injury.

The extended squad also sees the return of Niamh Kavanagh from injury and the experienced Tania Rosser gets a call up as a possible replacement for Davis.  The other new faces  from the Six Nations squad are Mary Healy, Vikki McGinn, Sarah Mimnagh, Ruth O’Reilly and Juliet Short.

Haven’t been following the women’s game as much as I would have liked this season but I am a little disappointed not to see a couple more Ulster . . .
