Caoimhín Kelleher: We've shown this Ireland squad can go up against anyone

Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Ukraine was the 23-year-old’s sixth international in a row

Four games, three goals conceded and a platform to keep the goalkeeper’s berth represented an admirable summer window for Caoimhín Kelleher.

Watching Gavin Bazunu develop into Ireland’s standout player during 2021 must have made the Corkman feel unlucky but injuries to the incumbent opened the door for Kelleher to deputise.
