Marc Walsh shines in Ireland win against the Czech’s

The Republic of Ireland U15 side recorded back to back victories over the Czech Republic to finish their international season on a high as they ran out 3-1 winners at Cahir Park AFC in Co Tipperary today.
Colin O’Brien’s side produced a competitive display to follow up on a 5-2 victory over the same opponents two days earlier.
Gweedore’s Mark Walsh played 73 minutes of today’s tie and impressed once again in a Republic of Ireland jersey.
The Irish side got off to a solid start with wide-men Walsh and Callum Thompson catching the eye.
On ten minutes Ciaran Brennan burst past the visiting defence to fire home brilliantly from the edge of the box.
Irish keeper Sam O’Gorman could do little to deny the Czechs an equaliser in the 29th minute when Vít Kolář found the net with a thumping free-kick from 25 yards out.
In the 47th minute Ireland were handed a golden opportunity to extend their lead when Tomáš Vincour was penalised for a foul on Ciaran Brennan after Formánek had initially denied the striker. After the dust settled Ciaran Brennan stepped up to fire home from the penalty spot.
The drama dropped off a little after that but Ireland added a third in the 84th minute when Callum Thompson curled home brilliantly from a free-kick from 25 yards.
