O’Shea to the rescue for Ireland U17s

Dara O’Shea scrambled home a second-half goal to secure a 1-1 draw for Ireland in their U17 international against Switzerland at the Waterford RSC yesterday.

The Swiss went in front from the penalty spot with the final action of the half when Dara O’Shea brought down Giotto Morandi and Nedim Bajrami sent Paul Martin the wrong way from the kick.

Tom Mohan’s men drew level on 56 minutes when Colm Walsh O’Loghlen whipped in a right-wing corner that fell into the path of Dara O’Shea who scrambled home.
