Republic of Ireland Senior Training squad 1-0 Republic of Ireland Under-23 squad
Anthony Stokes scored the only goal of tonight's training match at Gannon Park in Malahide to give Giovanni Trapattoni's Ireland squad victory.
The Hibernian attacker fired home from 25 yards midway through the first-half after Cillian Sheridan raided down the left flank and pulled the ball back into Stokes' path.
The Irish Under-23s were unlucky not to earn a draw as substitute Paddy Madden had the ball in the net 17 minutes from time but he was adjudged to have offside when Gary McCabe sent him through on goal.
