Well-kearned call

Shea Kearney has been named in the Northern Ireland Under-21 squad for a mini-tournament in Turkey at the end of this month.

Tommy Wright’s side are scheduled to face Ukraine Under-20s (March 20), Uzbekistan Under-21s (March 22) and Turkmenistan Under-21s (March 25) as part of their preparations for their European Championship qualifying campaign, with all at Cliftonville naturally wishing Shea well for the trip.
