Coventry City youngster Darragh Leahy played for the Republic Of Ireland U17's as they qualified for the UEFA U17 Championships Finals in Bulgaria.
Ireland had drawn 2-2 with Greece and beat Belarus 3-1 and took on hosts Poland in Grodzisk Wielkopolski.
They went down to a 1-0 defeat to Poland with Leahy playing the whole game and thought that their chances of qualification were over.
However, in the final game of the Elite Group Phase, Greece drew 0-0 with Belarus, meaning that Ireland finished second and qualified for the finals later this year.
