Georgia heap more misery on Ireland

THE Republic of Ireland Under 19 side were narrowly defeated in their European Elite qualification game against Georgia in Senec, Slovakia, losing 3-2 for the second time this week.

It was Ireland’s third defeat from three games and with qualification for the finals in Poland in July already out of the equation, it was all about avoiding last place against the Georgians.

But they got two early goals to really knock the stuffing out of an Irish side that had started brightly.
