Fenlon out to make his point and seal final place for U23s

A PLACE in the final next spring against either England or Italy is at stake when the Republic of Ireland U23 team take on Belgium in the International Challenge Trophy at Dalymount Park on Tuesday, October 21 (kick off 7.30pm).

Having already beaten Slovakia 2-0 and Northern Ireland 1-0, the Irish now need just one point against Belgium to get them through to the decider. But Pat Fenlon sees no reason to change the approach which has brought his League of Ireland side maximum points to date.

“We’ve got a lot of attacking options,” says the manager, “so it might be hard to play any other way. We’ll try and win the game like we did the other two.”
