Huge congratulations to Brian McCrann who has been selected in the final 20man
squad for the Republic of Ireland Junior international team which will take
part in the Umbro Quadrangular Trophy in Limerick, running from 3rd
to 5th October.
Recent trials were held in Sligo and Limerick and an initial panel of 80 has been whittled down to the final 20 - made up of 9 players from Leinster, 7 from Munster, 2 from Ulster and two from Connacht. These include 4 players from current FAI Junior Cup holders Sheriff YC and 3 from runners-up Kilbarrack United.
With three matches in three days, all 20 players will be utilised:-
Thursday, October 3
Scotland v Rep. of Ireland - Pike Rovers Complex (3pm)
Friday, October 4
Rep. of Ireland v Isle of Man - Janesboro (1pm)
Saturday, October 5
Northern Ireland v Rep. of Ireland - Fairgreen (3pm)
As one of only two from Connacht to make the final
grade, this is a fantastic achievement by Brian and we send all best wishes to
him, and the squad, for the tournament.
