Fionnan Coyle to feature for Ireland in Israel

Republic of Ireland Under-16 Head Coach Paul Osam has named a 20-man squad for the upcoming Under-16 UEFA Development Tournament in Israel.
In their final games of the season next week, the Under-16s will play the hosts, Ukraine and Fiji over the space of five days along the Mediterranean coast in Shefayim.
18 of Osam’s squad are based in the SSE Airtricity League including Fionnan Coyle who plays his football with Finn Harps.
Speaking ahead of the trip to Israel, Osam said he is looking forward to working with the players for the final time, before they progress to the Under-17s next season.
“It’s been a good season. The Development Tournament is a culmination of the work the lads have done throughout the year. We have players coming in for the first time, including lads that did very well at the Under-15s. It will be a big challenge, travelling to Israel.
“Israel are in our group for next season’s Under-17 Qualifying Round, so that’s an added bonus. The games are this November. It’ll give me a great opportunity to see them up close, and pass on my knowledge to Colin O’Brien. This group will be playing them later this year.”
