PAUL DOOLIN HAS named the Ireland under 23 squad for the International Challenge Trophy match against Estonia later this month.
Graham Cummins (Cork City Foras Co-op), Daniel Kearns (Dundalk), Jake Kelly (Bray Wanderers) and Enda Stevens (Shamrock Rovers) all come into the 18-man squad for the first time.
Ireland must beat Estonia away to qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament after they lost 2-1 to England in their first match.
Paul Doolin said: “We’re looking forward to the Estonia match. We have a strong squad of players, and once again I was faced with the difficult decision of who to leave out. Estonia will be a good side but we have real quality throughout this squad and we will travel there looking for three points.”
