U16s to face Estonia and Finland

A Northern Ireland Under-16 team will be taking part in a three-team tournament in Estonia later this month.

They are due to take on Estonia and Finland in international challenge matches at the TNTK Stadium in Tallinn.

Game one in the Estonian capital will see them play Estonia on Monday 23 September (17:00 kick-off local time, 15:00 BST).

And their second match in the tournament is against Finland on Wednesday 25 September, again with a 17:00 start local time.

Head coach Kris Lindsay (pictured) has chosen a 20-strong squad for the two games.

The players are due to fly out to Estonia next Friday (20 September) and will train in Tallinn ahead of the matches – and in between the games.

The U16s squad for the tri-nations tournament is as follows:

Goalkeepers – Michael Doherty (Dungannon Swifts), Cole Smyth (Derry City).

Defenders – Sean Cassidy and Paul Stanfield (both Cliftonville), Charlie Campbell and Adam Dolan (both Glentoran), Calum Anderson and Sonny Trainor (both Linfield), Calum Woods (Dundalk).

Midfielders – Finlay Ross and Jay Longridge (both Linfield), Caleb Sweeney (Larne), Emmett Morrison (Cliftonville), Harry Gough (Glenavon), Freddie Murdock (Everton).

Forwards – Eamonn Tohill and Coran Madden (both Cliftonville), Jack May (Linfield), Joel Kerr (Glentoran), Luke Hawe (Ballymena).
