Ireland's National Men's side was today named for the upcoming training camp set for the 5th - 9th November in Pinoke, (Amstleveem), Holland.

The camp will see a squad of 23 athletes come together for the first time under the newly appointed Coach, Andrew Meredith who commented "I am extremely excited to start working with an expanded playing group which will clearly give me a good insight as to where the group is at on a physical and technical level, as we move forward towards the Champions Challenge in Argentina next month."

Meredith continued "A major objective of the camp is about learning. For me as the new leader of the group, it's about gaining knowledge on the individual athletes, their personality's, strengths and weaknesses. While for the players, it's probably more in the direction of working through this adjustment period that occurs when a new coach becomes involved with a team for the first time, and learning how that affects the framework which they work in. We will of course work hard to analyse  and to prioritise what we should be looking at in terms of targeting specific areas for immediate development and those which development can be extended over a longer period post Champions Challenge."

The camp will see Ireland compete in a number of training matches against Dutch club sides during this five day camp. The squad for Champions Challenge I in Argentina (24th November - 2nd December) will be selected post this training camp.
