World Championship history beckons for Ireland U20s

Carolan’s men blew Argentina away with a devastating display at Manchester City Academy Stadium and are now just 80 minutes away from being the first men’s side from the country to lift a World Cup.

But Carolan is determined not to let the occasion get to his superb young side and they will prepare for this in similar fashion as they have for any other game in this unforgettable season.
