Clifford Winner For Young Ireland


Conor Clifford, who scored the winner in the FA Youth Cup Final, netted another important goal on Friday night, this time for Republic of Ireland Under 19s.

The midfielder's penalty on the hour following a handball was enough to beat home side Ukraine, despite Ireland losing a man to a red card just after half-time.

The 1-0 win in a four-team tournament keeps Ireland in with a chance of qualifying for the European Championship Finals in July.

Ireland lost to England in their first game and the England Under-19 side made it two wins out of two with a 4-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina in Kiev. Jacob Mellis played 65 minutes and supplied the pass for the third goal.
