Two Donegal players have been included on the Ireland Under-17 Women’s Basketball squad.

U17 Head Coach Liam Culloty has named a 25-player development squad.

Andrea McGlynn from Colaiste Cholmcille in Ballyshannon and Laura Kealy from Loreto, Letterkenny are on the squad.

McGlynn plays for Ballyshannon 88ers while Kealy lines out for Letterkenny Blaze.

Speaking about the announcement, Coach Culloty stated: “We had over 50 players attend three open sessions over the last month, so trying to pick 25 from that list was quite challenging. The standard was very good and the interest shown by all the players was fantastic. I would like to thank everyone who made the effort to attend and I am looking forward to working with this very talented group of players over the coming months.”

The squad’s next session will be held on the weekend of February 17th and 18th at St Mary’s College, Galway.
