Hello all

 

Hope I find you all well.

 

Recently I canvassed interest from all European clubs in declaring their interest to send non-Irish national members of their hurling clubs to the International Hurling tournament in Galway in September this year.The response was well-received and to date 18 players have indicated their interest and intention to travel to Ireland in September.

 

Now its the turn of our Irish nationals who play throughout Europe to declare their interest and intentions to participate in this fantastic tournament - a splendid chance to showcase to the world that hurling in Europe is vibrant and strong.

 

What we re looking for is Irish born members of all hurling clubs in Europe to nominate players from their club.The panel will be made up of 21 players With such a broad and varied pick of hurling members and clubs to chose from , a quota system per club may have to be put in place.However, this is all relavent to who and how many players declare their interest.Also, there will be a requirement to attend one mandatory training session at the last hurling round this year mainly to  a / establish the panel b/ inform players of the logistics involved.

 

The bonus for the players picked on the panel is an all - expenses paid trip ( flights and accomodation ) to Galway at the end of september and a chance to play against world opposition on a world stage.The format of the competition will be establised closer to the time with the finals being played in Pearse Stadium in Galway.

 

If you ve any questions , please let me know
