WU19s arrange International Friendly with Northern Ireland

WU19s arrange International Friendly with Northern Ireland

As they put the final touches to their preparations for upcoming UEFA European Championship Qualifiers, the Ireland Women's Under-19s have set up another International Friendly.

Dave Connell's squad will travel to Belfast to take on Northern Ireland on Sunday, November 16th for what should be a challenging outing for a new-look panel of players.

There are first-time call-ups for seven players, including Athlone Town midfielder Emma Mooney, Bohemians goalkeeper Jenna Willoughby, Shamrock Rovers pair Laura Fanning and Keelin Comiskey, Treaty United duo Kate Jones and Madison McGuane, plus Wexford's Charlotte Cromack.

The trio of Mooney, Comiskey and McGuane recently featured for the Ireland WU17s in three UEFA EURO Qualifiers in Germany and have been afforded an opportunity to test themselves at a higher age grade.

In October, Ireland played both Portugal and USA in two International Friendlies, where a number of players made their WU19 debuts, and Connell - and his support staff - will be keen to take the positives from those games into this fixture.

This game will be the last run-out for Ireland before they go into their 2025-26 UEFA EURO Qualifiers against Sweden (November 26th), Poland (November 29th) and Bulgaria (December 2nd).
