The Ireland senior hurling squad has been announced for Hurling-Shinty international against Scotland which will take place on Saturday 21st October at Páirc Esler in Newry. The game will be shown live on the official TG4 YouTube channel.

There are fourteen counties represented on the squad, including Carlow's own Chris Nolan from Mount Leinster Rangers. The Ireland squad will be captained by Antrim and Cushendall star Neil McManus after his success in the Liam MacCarthy Cup this year.

The team is being managed by Damien Coleman from Galway, "We are delighted with our progress; we have a strong panel assembled for the Hurling-Shinty International with representation from fourteen counties. It’s vital that we as an Association maintain our traditions, and this event affords hurlers from all tiers the opportunity to play together. The players are all looking forward, as are all our management team to October 21st when we welcome the Scotland team to Páirc Esler,”

After an unavoidable hiatus due to COVID-19, this match will mark a momentous occasion for players as they return to the hybrid game for the first time since 2019.
