McCaffrey announces squad for UEFA Under 17 Championship Finals

25 April 2008

Ireland will open their series against France on May 4 before taking on Switzerland three days later. Their final group tie comes against title holders Spain on May 10.
The two groups of four will battle it out with the winner and runner-up from each pool progressing to the semi-finals.
Sean McCaffrey's Republic of Ireland squad sealed their place at the showpiece by topping their four-nation Elite group on March 18.
Ireland won the group, which was staged in Galway and Athlone, by virtue of goal difference after Portugal, Germany, Greece and the Irish had completed their series of three games with four points apiece.
