Congratulations to former Iorras Aontaithe and now Ipswich Town player, Ronan Murray (Young Erris Person of the Year) on making his U19 debut for the Republic of Ireland in preparing for the second qualifying stage of the 2009 UEFA U19 Championship which will take them to Belgium in June 09.  Ireland drew with Slovakia on Tuesday 31st March and Thursday 2nd April they scored a marvellous 2-1 win over the same opponents. Ronan came on as a sub in the second half of the first game on Tuesday and on Thursday was in the starting 11, scoring one of the two goals for Ireland. Ireland took the lead in the 30th minute when Ronan Murray bravely scored. He ran through on to a pass from Conor Hourihane, drove the ball against the goalkeeper as he threw himself in the Irishman’s path and then jumped to head the rebound in.
