The Ireland Women's Under-17s are taking part in an International Tournament that also includes Italy, North Macedonia and Slovenia.

Among those in James Scott's squad is Treaty United's Ellen Goggin, with the Crescent College student coming on as a half-time substitute in Ireland's opening fixture.

Scott's squad had a positive start to the tournament with a 4-0 over Slovenia on Wednesday. Ireland will face the losing team between Italy and North Macedonia in the group's other tie tomorrow. 

The tournament, which is being played in Gradisca D'Isonzo in north-east Italy, sees each team play three games across five days.

For Ireland, these games will aid their preparation for their upcoming UEFA European Championship qualifiers against Belgium, France and Germany in late October.

A number of players in the Ireland squad have already featured in the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division this season, including Cork City centre-back Holly O'Hagan, Shamrock Rovers full-back Keelin Comiskey, Bohemians midfielder Alex Devoy and Shelbourne forward Halle Harcourt.
