Quote from Head Coach Paul Dempsey: "There is a real buzz about the team. They trained hard and played well in Denmark, with our hosts commenting on the difference in just one month. This is the first real international game for the senior women in 10 years, so it will be a fantastic experience for what is a very young squad. We see this game as the foundation to build on, and with more games and competitions we know we will grow in confidence and strength, just as the mens teams are doing."
