Irish U20 manager names team for friendly

Republic of Ireland Under-20 manager Gerry Smith has included 10 players who were in Switzerland last week for the European Under-21 Championship qualifier in a squad of 18 for an Under-20 friendly against Italy in Tolka Park on Wednesday, October 29.

This game against the Italians is a vital part of the build-up for the Under-20s’ trip to the United Arab Emirates in November for the World Youth Championship finals.
