There were two Championship matches played this Friday evening with Bristol City and Callum O’Dowda playing out a one all draw with visitors Aston Villa who included Conor Hourihane in their starting eleven with Glenn Whelan unused on the substitute bench. The Yorhshire derby meeting of Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United was without any Irish presence, with goalkeeper Keiren Westwood consigned to the third choice backwater at Hillsborough while young Conor Shaughnessy currently finds himself on the first team periphery at Elland Road.
