Laois woman named on Irish u-19 women's basketball squad for upcoming Four Nations

Ireland U18 Women's head coach Tommy O'Mahony has named a 17 strong squad ahead of the upcoming Four Nations tournament in April.

Laois has a representative on the team with uncapped Emer Dunne of SETU Carlow and Mountmellick CS named in the 17 woman panel.

Upon naming his squad, head coach Tommy O'Mahony said: “The players have been working really hard over the last few months and the selection process has been very hard with a lot of tight calls. The European championship occurs very early this year so hence we have a lot of work to do in such a short space of time. We understand a lot of work will need to be done away from the squad in order to get us in prime condition for the championships. We are really looking forward to the next phase of the program to see what players step up and make are real impact on the team."

The Four Nations tournament is a competition between Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales that will take place in Cardiff on the 12th and 13th of April.
