Last Updated : 03-Nov-2008 by

Derby County's two representatives in the Republic of Ireland's U18 side suffered a 2-1 loss in Limoges during the friendly tournament to Denmark.

K Keane and G Kelly were both in the side and all started well with Ireland taking a lead through Robert Kiernan with just 20 minutes on the clock. Denmark equalised in the 40th minutes but the Irish still had a chance to go in at the break leading after being awarded a penalty right on half time but this was missed. The Danes took the match in the 73rd minute through a strike from Lindsten..
