Dublin U16 2017 Squad is announced


Following a series of trials which ran for a seven week period the Dublin U16 squad which will represent their County in the championship of 2017 has been announced. The 35 strong squad will begin the defense of their Counties Leinster crown with a home fixture versus Meath on the 12th of March next. 


In total over 220+ players were involved in the trials process providing the Dublin U16 management team with a mammoth task to reduce this number down to the final panel of 35. The standard of football on display throughout the trials was of an extremely high level which is a huge testament to the hard work and dedication being applied by coaches at club level across the County. 


Dublin manager Steve Davis and his management team would like to acknowledge the support of all clubs and parents who cooperated with him over the last seven weeks insuring the smooth running of the trial process. 


Cuala's Grainne O'Driscoll has been announced as the sides captain with Roisin McGovern of Foxrock Cabinteely taking on the role of vice-Captain.
