Instonians Name Squad for Vienna

In total a party of 50 will be travelling to Vienna as
Instonians battle to maintain Irelands status in European Hockey. A big task
lies ahead for a squad depleted by the absence of Ireland Captain Paddy Brown
and international colleague Mark Irwin. The unavailability of Clarke Kennedy
is also a blow as his experience and enthusiasm would have been invaluable in
Europe.
However despite some inexperience in the squad there are a lot
of players with valuable European experience some playing in Europe for the
sixth/seventh time and this will hold them in good stead.
Instonians despite having had a poor domestic season will be
giving it all in Vienna and with a good vocal support behind them could
perhaps spring a surprise or two.
