"We’re looking forward to getting the selection process for FIBA Youth EuroBasket in Armenia next July underway at the National Basketball Arena. There was some big wins all across the Irish programmes last summer, so it’s great to see Ireland continuing to improve at this level each season. We know we have a strong group to select from at this age level. I hope all the players are ready to compete at the highest level to get one of the 12 green jerseys.  Can’t wait to get started," said Walsh.
