The final 12 players who will go forward to represent Ireland on the Irish Under 18 Women’s team, have been announced by Head Coach, Tommy O’Mahony today.
The team has been selected ahead of this year’s FIBA Under 18 Women’s European Championship, Division B, which will be hosted in Dublin this August.
The Championships will run from August 4th to 13th and will be held in two venues – the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght and the National Indoor Arena, Abbotstown. Ticket information is available here.
