Following the 2019 season coming to a close the new Leinster U17 squad started training in November. There were over 40 girls nominated by their clubs for the training sessions. Of which 25 players attended the training sessions provided by Head Coach Rob O'Connor and a variety of support coaches each week: Isobel Joyce, Michael Hingston, Rory Anders, Jenny Sparrow, Naomi Scott-Hayward.
The below squad of 21 have been selected to attend further training sessions, the next of which is a new intensive training camp being held at Castleknock College during the February midterm break. It is a 2 day, overnight stay which we hope will provide a tour-like atmosphere.

This group of U17s will be reduced further as the training sessions continue. There will be a 4 day Easter Training Clinic as well as another new initiative developed by our Women's and Girls Development Officer, Isobel Joyce, which is a training camp in Oakhill, Wicklow. This will be a 3 day camp with use of grass wickets for training matches on June 24th, 25th and 26th.
