Celtic Cup 2009

[McLovin]

So how is it all shaping up? What are the set dates etc.

Have all the teams been picked yet? Whos looking strong

I hear that along with Scotland, Ireland and Wales, France are entering a team

Any info appreciated

[Livlax]

it's Wales, Scotland and Ireland (England isn't Celtic) dont think France are putting a team in this year, but i did hear they wanted to enter in the future

[KebabLax05]

The Welsh defo have a point to prove against Ireland after the Euros, cannot wait!

[McLovin]

From what I hear the Irish Team is going to be be a pre-dominately Irish based team. At least 80% so should be interesting to see how they do. Any teams picked yet or when are they trying out?

[Jackanory]

Scotland are trialling the weekend before to pick the 2010 worlds squad, so they'll be strong.

Ireland picking Irish players? Thats got to be misinformation

[Harry Collins]

They'll probably be as Irish as you are Scottish Jack...

[dom#10]

The Irish try-out is taking place in Dublin during June. Most likely the 13th
The team will be mainly Irish based not 100% sure what the percentage will be there is an information session coming up soon so should know full details of tryout information then.

Either way its shaping up to be a great celtic cup tournament.

Leading up to the worlds in 06 they refused to take any goal keeper who didn't trial/play in the USA.

I think that the 2009 Celtic Cup team is being chosen mainly from the trial in Ireland (June).
But reading their web-site, both trials (Ireland in June, US in September) will be used in the selection process for the 2010 World Championships team.

Any news on Scotland or France?

[laxwill11]

great to see 7 of Wales u19s team from last summer's World Games making the step up to senior level. We were the only team without a single US/Canadian import and came within a whisker of qualifying from the group (missed out by 2 goals on GD) - keep up the hard work lads, its proof that Wales lax is going in the right direction.
