Scotland has named 13 players for this month’s under-13 and under-15 Home Internationals in Dublin.

The under-13 line-up is Kirsty Lobban, Claire Gadsby, Rory Stewart, James Wilson, Jason Lang and Jack Hogg.

Carrying the banner for the under-15s are Rosie Allan, Rebecca McKerchar, Elspeth Young, Calum Johnston, Andrew Forbes, Fergus Richards and Gary Beales.

The encouraging news is that England, having ignored the event since the mid-1990s have decided to entre a team. It means it will be a genuine home international.

The teams will be accompanied by Junior Excellence Programme Lead Coach, Mark Beaumont, and Performance Coach Development Programme member, Frania Gillen-Buchert.
