FAI ETP Development Squad named for Hibernia Trophy
REPUBLIC of Ireland U15 Head Coach Jason Donohue has named an FAI/ETP Development Squad for the Hibernia Trophy
which takes place in Sallynoggin next month.
The FAI squad will meet Club Northern Ireland, Ipswich Town, Sunderland and Wolves over the course of the
three days. The tournament is run by St Joseph’s Boys AFC and takes place at their Pearse Park venue from August 19-21.
“What we’re trying to do is to get them involved in the learning environment to prepare them for international
football going forward,” said Donohue.
“For some of the players it could be their first time going away with a group, outside of the SFAI Kennedy
Cup. We’ll teach them about elements of being involved in an international squad such as nutrition, rest and recovery.
“With so many games we’ll look at everybody and the schedule will be testing for the players.
“We’ve picked players with versatility and will see them in a variety of positions.
“We’ve selected a squad for the Hibernia Trophy only from players who played in the SFAI Kennedy Cup this
summer. We’ve had two assessment days where we had 60 players in. We also played the U16s yesterday and will have three training sessions ahead of the tournament.”
