ZOE GREEN of Lagan Harps is part of the Republic of Ireland Under-17 Women’s squad for two friendly internationals against Scotland this week.
Having already played Northern Ireland in a friendly game, this double-header gives manager David Bell some more time to work with his players having recently taken over the role of manager from Dave Connell.
The focus for Bell is very much on October’s three first phase qualifying games in Turkey and he is excited to have two tests against Scotland in Edinburgh to prepare for those games.
“I think they will be two tough games for us. The door is always open and it will be difficult to pick a squad (for the qualifying games) but hopefully I’ll have nailed down some places after the Scotland games,” said Bell.
Ireland face Scotland at Ainslie Park in Edinburgh tomorrow, Wednesday, at 7pm before the second fixture takes place at the same venue on Friday at 2:30pm.
