Andrew Mooney - Ulster U18 - Goalkeeper. An excellent ‘keeper who has made tremendous progress over the course of this season. His uncanny ability to identify the danger early and deal with it sets him apart from other ‘keepers. A great shot stopper who will no doubt be in top form for the final.

Michael Anderson - Ulster U16, Ireland U16 - Reserve goalkeeper. With Ulster and Ireland U16 caps under his belt, Michael ensures there is plenty of competition for the No.1 spot. A player with a great attitude to training, he commands his area with huge authority and has made rapid progress in the last two seasons.

Daniel MacAuley - Ulster U16 - Defender. Daniel has played in both midfield and defence this season and his recent performances at right-back have won him many plaudits. He is a committed player and an imposing presence; he will look to make the most of this occasion in his last year of school hockey.

Phillip Brown (Vice-Captain) Ulster U16, Ireland U16, Ulster U18, Ireland U18 - Defender. A key figure in the Academy side, Phillip has experienced Irish U18 hockey at European level. He is also in contention for an Ulster U21 place. His leadership at the back will be key to the Academy in the final and since this is his last year at school, he will be determined to sign-off on a high note.

Matthew Bell - Ulster U16, Ireland U16, Ulster U18 - Defender. Despite being one of the younger members of the squad, Matthew has huge responsibility placed on his shoulders playing in the centre of defence. A player with terrific close skills and an innate ability to read the game, his performances thus far have earned him an Ulster U18 place and he is in contention for Irish U18 selection.

Philip Doyle - Ulster U16, Ireland U16, Ulster U18 - Defender. His height and reach give him a distinct advantage over most players and that together with his extraordinary fitness levels make him a very daunting proposition for opposing players. A key defender in the Ulster U18 side in October, he is peaking at just the right time of the season and will have a big role to play in the final.

Hugh McShane - Ulster U18 - Midfielder. Blessed with wonderful skill and balance, Hugh’s creativity on the right-hand side of midfield has enriched many an Academy performance. A player with a terrific attitude and work-rate, his performances have earned him recognition at Ulster and Ireland U18 level.

Ciaran Kelly - Ulster U16, Ireland U16, Ulster U18 - Midfielder. Ciaran’s ability to negate the threat posed by key opposition players has been vital to the Academy’s progress in this competition. Coupled with his creativity on the ball and his ability to score important goals, it is no wonder that the Academy will look to him to produce another big performance in the final.

Niall Kelly - Ulster U16, Ireland U16, Ulster U18 - Midfielder.
