Two Galway United players included in Ireland U17 Women's squad

The Ireland Women's Under-17s will take on Portugal in two International Friendlies in Lisbon next week. Head Coach James Scott has included two Galway United players for the games, defender Heather Loomes (pictured) and midfielder Ava Mullins, as he gets to use the two games as part of the squad's preparation for their UEFA WU17 European Championship qualifiers in November. The Girls in Green beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in Belfast last week and will aim to build some momentum from that as their 2024-25 season gets going. There are call-ups for Arsenal duo Sophia Leonard and Lauren Bowe as well as Finley Newell and Fiona McCormick who both play in the United States.
