Cork City boss Colin Healy is confident Stephen Kenny's policy of putting faith in young players will pay huge dividends with Ireland - if fans and the FAI will stick with the manager.

Kenny's tenure has been stormy so far, with World Cup qualification already out of reach, despite a stirring draw with Serbia on Tuesday night at Aviva Stadium. But the emergence of young players like Gavin Bazunu, Andrew Omobamidele, and Adam Idah has been one of the biggest positives for the former Dundalk boss.
