SOCCER/Under-19 International tournament: The Republic of Ireland under-19s will be hoping to make it two wins out of two at the La Manga Tournament this afternoon when they face the highly-rated Czech Republic at 2.0.

Having beaten Norway 3-0 on Tuesday, Ireland are in a strong position though manager Sean McCaffrey has warned his players not to be complacent against a Czech side he believes are among the finest of this age group in Europe.

"The Czechs are easily one of the top sides in this age group. They were seeded for the European Championships and received a bye through the first phase qualifiers," he said.

"They are quick, strong and technically good and I think they will be the toughest team that we have faced this year."
