Senior women face Ireland in test match series
Scotland Senior Women travel to Dublin for a three match test series against Ireland in what will be their second training camp inside a month.
They face Ireland on 2nd and third of November at the Three Rock Rovers free for spectators and again on Wednesday 5th November at Alexandra College.
Scotland Senior Women Head Coach Gordon Shepherd has selected a slightly different side to the Germany trip with Captain Leigh Fawcett and Becky Ward out due to work commitments and Aileen Davis comes back in from making her first appearance since the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Only Davis, Susan McGilveray, Nicola Skrastin, Sarah Robertson and Nikki Kidd feature from the Glasgow 2014 side.
Kirsten McIntosh, Louise Campbell, Nicola Cochrane, Jenny Morris, Kirsten Peters and Maisie Morris come in to the squad off following inclusion in the Great Britain U21 Women training camp that recently took place in England.
Head coach Gordon Shepherd is looking forward to the trip over, stating, “This is great to see the whole squad perform against top international sides. This is an invaluable opportunity to help me get a better understanding of the squad in the lead up to a very important summer next year with the Europeans in London.”
Sarah Robertson is to receive her 50th cap for Scotland if she features in the first match of the test series and Kirsten Peters, Emma McGregor, Jenny Morris and Rowen Sinclair are all to receive their first caps for Scotland.
