Far away from Cardiff City Stadium tonight, there’s serious business to attend to in the Faroe Islands for Ireland U21s as they start a campaign which manager Noel King hopes culminates at the 2015 European Championships in the Czech Republic.

The Republic of Ireland Under 19s will face England in a friendly international at Turner’s Cross, Cork on Thursday, September 9.

Bray Wanderers coach Tony McGuirk has been confirmed in the role of Republic of Ireland U19 assistant to manager Sean McCaffrey.
