Soccer/U-19 international: Having scored on his debut for Bury on Saturday, at the start of a month-long loan from Leeds United, Andrew Keogh will hope for more joy when he leads the Republic of Ireland's attack in the first of two friendlies with Italy in Corato this afternoon.
Dubliner Keogh is one of just a handful of experienced players available to manager Seán McCaffrey as he faces a strong Italian side expected to include Manchester United's Guiseppe Rossi and Arutor Lupoli, who scored twice for Arsenal in the English League Cup this season.
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND U-19: Randolph (Charlton Ath); Dicker (UCD), O'Dea (Arsenal), R Keogh (Stoke City), Morris (Leeds United); Collins (Huddersfield Town), Gibson (Manchester Utd), Kelly (unattached), Foley (Aston Villa); A Keogh (Bury), Hayes (Reading).
