Donegal’s Marc Walsh is named on the Republic of Ireland U17 side that will travel to Poland next week to play in the UEFA European Championship Elite Round Qualifiers.
The Gweedore man who plays his football with Swansea City is included in the 20 man squad named by manager Colin Bell for the three games against Georgia, Macedonia and Poland.
Ireland go into the group as the top seeds and a top two finish would all but seal a place at the European Championships in England in May.
