It's U18 but you must still be in school.

I was hoping to go but thought it was Friday for some reason and can't now.

We play England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in the centenary shield.

We won the centenary shield last year.

The England game on April 24th (that is a friday) has been moved from Kilkenny to Waterford as well.

Just like the League Cup Final, the ground will be handed over to the FAI. They will decide on the warm ups. (wouldn't like to see the look on Mick's face though

)

Schoolboys? Are you sure you're on the right website?

**Dyl10** · 24/02/2009, 10:58 PM

It's not the schoolboy international anyway, it's the Irish schools

**Razors left peg** · 24/02/2009, 11:19 PM

Just as a matter of interest, are there many players that have played for the schoolboys team that have gone on to be full internationals. I know Noel Hunt is one(only know that because my cousin was on same team) but have no idea about others

Apologies if I am incorrect. To clarify, see below

Very comfortable 3-1 win for Irish Schools tonight against a poor enough Welsh side whose only tactic was to hit two sticks up front. Goalscorers (I think) were Shane Howard (Belvedere), Andrew Boyle (UCD) and a nice round the keeper from our own Jimmy Keohane. 3-1 at half-time also and game petered out in the second-half. Welsh goal came from free-kick from half-way which sailed over everyone with the breeze, including our keeper. Jason Hughes of Limerick carried off - hope he's ok.

Best for the Irish were Shane Howard who got MOM, and Paul Corry and Gary Burke from Belvedere. About 700 spectators at it.

Was he the No. 10? I thought he was different class. Great to hear the National Anthem at Ferrycarrig Park

Oldie, you're right and from Hacketstown as well, that's as good as Wexford!

Sure if he has ever eaten strawberries or dated his cousin, he's a Wexford man to the core

Supposedly its not as bad as first thought. He'll be out for about 4 weeks though. Big loss to Limerick FC.

I was right behind the goall when it happened. Made a very brave block for a certain goal but, unfortunately, he made the kind of noise that you know had to hurt a lot. Stretchered off and brought to hospital. Glad to hear it's not as bad as feared
