Derby County have duel representatives in Irish U17 squad

Last updated : 25 September 2008 By Rams Mad Editor
Mark O'Brien and Jeff Hendrick will pull on the green shirts of the Republic of Ireland this week as they go in search of qualification to the UEFA U17 Tournament.

The pair will play in pre-qualifying rounds against Luxumbourg on Friday followed by games against Andorra and Greece. The top two placed teams progressing to the 'elite' phase to be played in early 2009.

The inclusion is a good indicator that things are progressing at the Derby County Academy and hopefully the Rams will be introducing some of these players to their first team squad in the coming years...
