Our U17 side commenced their lengthy preparation journey to the 2019 European Championship Finals with a three nil victory over Turkey in a friendly international played at Tallaght Stadium this Tuesday evening. Brighton & Hove Albion striker Matt Everitt gave Ireland the interval lead with the opening goal eight minutes before the half-time break and late strikes from Conor Carty of Wolverhampton Wanderers and late substitute Joshua Giurgi of Norwich City set the seal on a fine performance. The sides will meet again at 1pm on Thursday afternoon in the same venue.
