Academy defender Gerard Nash has been in action this week for Ireland at the U17 European Championship. Unfortunately all has not gone to plan for the Irish in a tournament which they are hosting.

Nash, 16, was captain of his side in the 3-0 loss to Germany in their initial group match before they went on to lose 1-0 against France.

These defeats eliminated them from the competition and their final game against Slovenia today is academic.
