McCaffrey announced a squad to face Poland ahead of the UEFA qualifiers: http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=c...id=4&Itemid=12

Good to see 3 Derry players in there.
Republic of Ireland Under 19 squad v Poland:
Ian McLoughlin - Ipswich Town
Ger Hanley - Mervue United
Padraic Ormsby - Shamrock Rovers
Richie Towell - Celtic
Shane McEleney - Derry City
Cian Bolger - Leicester City
Rob Kiernan - Kilmarnock
Gavin Gunning - Rotherham United
Shaun Timmins - Birmingham City
Aaron Doran - Blackburn Rovers
Jimmy Keohane - Wexford Youths
Thomas McBride - Derry City
Sean Kinsella - Plymouth Argyle
Conor Hourihane - Sunderland
Conor Henderson - Arsenal
Jamil Adam - Barnsley
Ronan Murray - Ipswich Town
Charlie Collins - MK Dons
Paddy McEleney - Derry City
Gary Burke - Bohemians
Ryan Brennan - Drogheda United

Bit surprised that Shane Duffy hasn't been included. Is he 'cup tied' or something?

If Duffy was capped for NI in the u19 first round qualifiers then he would be 'cup tied' preventing him for playing for the FAI.

Jamil Adam of Barnsley is tipped for big things - english born with Nigerian and Irish parents.
