Republic Of Ireland manager Brian Kerr has made two changes in the Republic of Ireland under-16 panel to take part in the four-nation tournament starting in Bruges, Belgium, next Monday.

West Ham goalkeeper Billy McMahon and Blackburn Rovers defender Anthony Martin are called into the squad. Neither were part of the 20-man panel for the games against Denmark and Scotland a fortnight ago.

Kerr will be hoping the team's form can improve. They lost that fixture to Scotland and also the return game against Denmark.

The Republic of Ireland team begin the tournament by playing hosts Belgium on March 6th, followed by Sweden on March 8th and Yugoslavia on March 10th.
