Irish chase double in Madeira

The Republic of Ireland U21s can win the Madeira Invitational Tournament for the second time in two years with victory against Portugal at the Estadio de Machico tomorrow.

Irish boss Don Givens led his side to success in the same competition in 2004 but has admitted he did not expect to do so well in this year’s event after losing 13 of the original 20 players he selected.
