England win to dent Irish trophy hopes
After giving the ball away during the early exchanges, Ireland did put a good move together that nearly yielded the breakthrough on 14 minutes when James Chambers linked up brilliantly with Conor Powell and when he put through Ronan Finn, the striker shot wide at the near post.
As the hosts began to get a foothold in the game, they had another half chance less than three minutes later when Chambers set up Ross Gaynor down the right channel but the in-rushing Paul Byrne just couldn’t get on the end of his cross.
