Ronan: It’s an exciting time to be coming through in Irish football

Connor Ronan was lucky, for once, when it came to the Ireland squad’s travel arrangements for their Euro U21 qualifier in Armenia.

As the rest of the squad embarked on their three-flight, 4,000km route across Europe, Ronan was already halfway there. It was a relatively short hop from his home in Slovakia to Kiev to meet up with the team for their final connection to Yerevan.
