Ireland Men’s Under-17s finished runners-up in the Telki Cup after beating the hosts Hungary 2-0.

A goal in each half from Bohemians pair Curtis Egan and Josh Harpur was enough to see Paul Osam’s team earn the win.

Egan had Ireland ahead in the 17^th minute. Harpur broke through on goal and was thwarted by the Hungarian goalkeeper but Egan reacted fastest to volley home for 1-0.

In the second half his clubmate doubled the lead with a fine finish. Harpur, who was top scorer for Ireland at Under-16s level last year, was allowed to cut inside by the defender and he took advantage before firing low to the keeper’s left for 2-0.

The result tops off a solid week for the MU17s who face Kosovo, Faroe Islands and Austria in their First Round of European Qualifiers in October.
