Crowe holds Irish squad place

Bohemians striker Glen Crowe has retained his place in Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr’s squad of 23 players for the two European Championship qualifying games against Albania and Georgia next month.

Crowe was a member of the squad of 22 players Kerr had in Dublin last week for a five-day training session as part of the build-up to the two crucial Euro ties at Lansdowne Road.
