Positive start for O'Neill leaves players hungry for more

Stephen Kelly admits he cannot wait for the Republic of Ireland’s new qualifying campaign to get under way after a positive start to Martin O’Neill’s reign.

The 30-year-old Reading defender was handed a 37th senior cap as he played the full 90 minutes in Tuesday night’s 0-0 friendly draw in Poland, which followed hot on the heels of a 3-0 victory over Latvia in the new manager’s first game in charge.
