EXPERIENCE TEACHES MCQUILLAN TO REMAIN FOCUSED

Two trips to UEFA European Championship tournaments can either spoil a player or make them motivated to reach a third. Amanda McQuillan subscribes to the latter.

Now entering her fourth qualifying campaign with the Republic of Ireland Women’s Under 19s, the Meath native is taking all of the preparation in her stride ahead of Tuesday’s game against Macedonia.

Dave Connell’s squad travelled to Southern Europe with the intention of returning home clutching a place in the Elite Round, but overcoming their hosts in the first of three Qualifying Round games is where it all starts.

McQuillan, one of the senior players in a youthful squad, knows exactly what is at stake and how to go about achieving their goal.

“It’s very important to get off to a good start in qualifying because we have such a short amount of time to pick up results and every game matters,” said McQuillan.

“We are only looking at Macedonia right now because they are the first team up. If we can beat them then we will go into the other games high on confidence, but we have to win the game first.”

It sounds quite simple: win your games and qualify for the next stage. Except McQuillan knows all about the potential pitfalls as well as finding the route to the finals – she was part of the ‘History Girls’ U19 squad in 2014 and the ‘Ice Queens’ U17 squad in 2015.

The agile goalkeeper, who plays her club football with Shelbourne Ladies, believes in her team-mates and when she expresses that level of trust it feels genuine as she glows about individual talent, collective unity, and competition for places.

“This is a really good squad and it’s kind of silly the amount of talented players that we have. The good thing is that we all get along and that’s key because it helps you click on the pitch,” said McQuillan.

“Dave (Connell) is going to have a difficult time picking 11 players for each game and it’s up to us to make it a tough job for him. We also have to perform in the games and make sure that we get results – starting with Macedonia.”

UEFA European Championship

Yet again Amanda McQuillan will represent Ireland this week in the UEFA European Championship qualifying campaign. Amanda has been chosen by head coach Dave Connell to be part of this squad in what looks to be an exciting yet tricky group. Best of Luck from us all Amanda in the Games

Full Interview with Amanda’s coach below

Dave Connell is excited to get started in a new UEFA European Championship qualifying campaign with his Republic of Ireland Women’s Under 19 squad.

In Macedonia for three Qualifying Round games, Ireland are aiming to do enough to march on to the Elite Round before hopefully booking a place at next summer’s finals tournament in Northern Ireland.

First things first, Connell is keeping his players focused on their opening game. Taking on the hosts, Macedonia, on Tuesday afternoon will not be a straightforward assignment, as their experienced head coach knows all too well.

“This is a tricky group. We will be expected, by many, to beat Macedonia and that brings a type of challenge that our players will have to rise to,” said Connell.

“I’m very excited about this squad and I believe that we can go all the way to the finals. But we have three big challenges to overcome, starting with Macedonia, and we cannot take anything for granted.”

Connell has been down this road before, as Under 19 and Under 17 head coach, and twice he has led teams to European finals. So when he offers advice, it is worth paying close attention.

Experience is something that is shared amongst his squad with two players having been part of the ‘History Girls’ squad that reached the European semi-finals in 2014 and 13 players having travelled to Iceland for the European finals in 2015.

The newcomers to the group are goalkeeper Naoisha McAloon, defender Lynn Craven, midfielder Alex Kavanagh, and striker Leanne Kiernan, while Niamh Farrelly has previously been involved with the squad.

Connell is upbeat about his team’s chances and his diligent approach to these qualifying campaigns (which includes assembling a shrewd backroom staff) will be crucial as they get going.

The first game kicks off on Tuesday, October 18 and Connell feels that preparations are going well. But it’s all about translating that into a solid performance on the pitch and that is exactly what he will be asking of his players.
