Irish U-21 Team Named

[Neil]

Republic of Ireland Under 21 manager Don Givens has made two changes to the team who beat Finland 1-0 in last month's friendly in Dublin for the game against Russia tomorrow kick off 12:00.

Republic of Ireland Under-21s:
--------------------------------------
Murphy, Thompson, Goodwin (c), C Byrne, Tierney, Butler, Miller, Keane, Houlihan, Burgess, Barrett

good to see Houlihan back in. he got in last time by "luck" and when he played they realised how good he was.

But then he wouldn't be able to play at Finn Park on saturday & city be screwed.

p.s. Given (no pun intended) the relative quality available to Don Givens the u-21 results during his reign have been poor.

ild say this but what with Charles Mbeki of Pats, Houlihan of Shels, that Maltese guy for Rovers and the imminent? call up for O'Flynn maybe the eircom league should look at leaving international weekends free!!!!!!
