Anyone going to these games? It'll be interesting to see if any of the U19 set up have been promoted following their relative success.
Strange that no squad has been announced for the Austria game though.

This article on the Dundalk website suggests that the squad was announced and that Daniel Kearns and Keith Ward were put on the standby list.
I've searched for an official squad list but no luck.Quote:
The squad was announced before Kearns’ eye-catching performance against Celtic in the Dublin Super Cup at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
And now I just found this
http://www.rissc.org/Under21s.htmQuote:
Head Coach Noel King has confirmed his Republic of Ireland Under 21 squad for the friendly international with Austria in the Showgrounds, Sligo on Tuesday the 9th August 2011 at the earlier kick-off time of 6.00pm. Leeds United full back Aiden White is a new addition to the squad, while goalkeeper Aaron McCarey links up at this level for the first time, following his performances at the UEFA Under 19 Finals in Romania last week. The match will be a dress rehearsal for the UEFA qualifier against Hungary at the same venue on Thursday the 1st September 2011.

Rhys Murphy said about a week ago that he got an Ireland U21 call up. His exact words were ''ireland u21 call up!''
Also Ally McCoist said yesterday while talking about his Rangers trial - "He's gone back home. He has an international and he is going to come up and join us again towards the end of next week."

It's a bit light in midfield, isn't it? Unless they decide to play Doran there
A 16 man squad seems light enough to begin with, especially with qualifiers coming up.
Not one goal between the lot of them!
Irish Star says Brady's in the squad too.
I'll contact the FAI and see can I get anything official.

And there I was thinking I knew a good bit about the underage players! A couple I don't think I've heard of before there. it'll be interesting to see how Kinger gets on with them. Good to see a bit of continuity through the ranks there with Gunning, Clifford, Towell and Brady.
