Squad selected after open trials
Following an open trials day in October, a 26-woman Scotland under-20 squad has been selected for the age grade’s first training day on 23 November at the University of Edinburgh’s Peffermill playing fields. Head coach Alex Laybourne said: I’m really excited about the depth and breadth of talent we saw at the trials. We’ve had to make some tough calls over the course of the last few weeks to come to a final squad for the season of 26. Myself and the management team are looking forward to a successful season with this group of players who have the commitment and drive that we need to have a successful Scotland Women under-20 programme.” The first training day – on 23 November – will be followed by training camps in December, January, February and March, leading to two matches later in the spring against teams reperesenting the RAF and Czech Republic.Scotland Women under-20 squad ForwardsStephanie Campbell Inverness Craig Dunain LadiesLisa Croniken Ayr Ladies / Dundee UniversityHolly Donnelly-Bush Westbridgford LadiesKatie Dougan RHC Cougars / Edinburgh UniversityErrin Hendry-Giles Hillhead JordanhillKristin Jones Garioch RFC / Inverness Craig Dunain LadiesMegan Kennedy Stirling CountyAilsa Luke Lismore RFCLouise McMillan Hillhead JordanhillSiobhan McMillan Cartha Queens ParkLucy Park Murrayfield WanderersKathryn Stewart Morgan WomenCatriona Phillips Reading RFC BacksHeather Davis Stirling CountyRhona Davis (unattached)Hannah Illingworth Tynedale RFCHeather Innes Murrayfield WanderersJodie Hutton Stirling CountyRhona Lloyd Murrayfield WanderersCaitlin Morell Tynedale RFCAbi Norris Garioch Ladies / St Andrew’s UniversityLisa Thomson MelroseEilidh Towers Glasgow University Women RFCLucy Winter Stirling CountyJessica Young Morpeth RFCSelected players currently injured:Errin-Hendry Gilles Hillhead JordanhillLuisidh McMaster RHC Cougars / Edinburgh UniversityLisa Croniken Ayr Ladies / Dundee UniversityEllie Wilson Lismore WRFC
