Three of the Castlebar Celtic team members are playing for the Republic of Ireland Women’s under-19 team who take on Austria this evening, as part of their preparations for next month’s UEFA European Championship Elite Phase.
Castlebar Celtic’s Emma Hansberry will captain the Ireland Under-19’s tonight, while Sarah Rowe and Shaunagh Jackson are also on the squad.
The game takes place at Home Farm FC in Whitehall, Dublin at 7pm.
Ireland will face Italy, Sweden and hosts Netherlands in their Elite Phase group from April 4-9th, and manager Dave Connell says this evening’s match will be ideal preparation for his side, even though he will be without some key players through injury and senior international call-ups.
