IRISH UNDER 21 coach Adele Sloan has named her squad for next week's Four Nations Tournament in Scotland, but has had to leave out Trinity sweeper Kerry Hiles who was injured during a practice match against the senior squad last weekend UCD's Lorraine Furney takes her place.

Scotland, Wales and, Canada provide the opposition in Stirling (June 27th-29th) in what will be the final outing at under 21 level for a number of the Irish players, including Caitriona O'Kelly of Loreto. O'Kelly narrowly missed out on selection for the senior squad's trip to Zimbabwe this summer.
