Ireland’s Women’s hockey team boarded the plane to Alicante on Friday 22nd February, to commence a week long training camp as they continue to build towards their World Cup Qualifier taking place in Chile from 24th April-3rd May.
Coach Gene Muller is clearly looking forward to the camp which will afford the squad quality and intense training time “Our WCQ preparations kick off with a week-long training camp in Alicante. This affords us the opportunity to train without distraction and competing demands for a week. We have settled on a World Cup Qualifier squad of 24 players so for these players the hard work is just beginning. We have a series of short competition events after we return from Spain which does not include a large training component, so this makes our time in Spain event more significant.”
Ireland will continue their preparations building up ample match practice in the next month. First off they play a double header against Belgium in Nivelles from the 5th-7th February, just two weeks later Ireland head to Bisham where they will play three test games against England from the 21st-24th February. The squad will not have much of a reprieve as a week later they will head to Nice, France to compete in the Senior Celtic Cup.
It is expected that Gene Muller will announce his World Cup Qualifier a week after the Celtic Cup.
