The U-21 system is now completely changed. It starts off with 14 groups of 3 teams and each team plays one home and one away match. The winner of each group goes through to the Playoff round. We won 2-0 away to Greece a couple of weeks ago so are favourites to top the group.
We play Belgium next Friday night in Galway. If we win that we'll top the group and get one of the 14 playoff places. For the playoffs, the 14 teams are just randomly drawn together to form 7 matches. They're 2 legged matches and are played on the 7th and 11th October. If we win the playoff we qualify for the finals for the first time and that isn't until next summer.
So there isn't really many fixtures and I don't think any friendlies have been arranged yet.
