Grealish strikes again as Ireland finish on a high

Aston Villa’s tyro Jack Grealish scored his fourth goal in five matches for the Ireland Under-17s last night as they completed their Algarve training week with a second win.

John Morling’s side had defeated another local side, Louletano DC, 5-2 on Tuesday and this revamped Irish side raced into a three-goal lead.

Millwall striker Conor Wilkinson fired the Irish ahead on 23 minutes by swivelling on the edge of the box and burying a low shot into the bottom right-hand corner.
