Exactly one month until we’re in Qatar covering the U17 World Cup, with Ireland kicking off their campaign against Brazil.

What an experience awaits this young Irish squad as they become one of the few European nations to reach back-to-back U17 World Cups in Doha. A huge opportunity to test themselves against the world’s best and create memories that will last a lifetime.

It’s going to be a special tournament for Lansdowne Roar too, as we’ll be on the ground following Ireland every step of the way and bringing you all the action, reaction and stories from Qatar.

We’re still open to partnership opportunities for our tournament coverage. If your business would like to get involved and help us bring Irish supporters closer to the action, our DMs and emails are always open. 📩

🇮🇪 Wexford CBS beat England in China!

The lads have picked up their first win at the ISF World Cup in Suzhou, and it came against the country every Irish side wants to beat the most.

The result sees them finish third in their group and move on to the Shield stage.

Adam Codd opened the scoring with a superb effort, and Charlie Mullan doubled the lead shortly after to seal a 2-0 victory.

It’s a result that means even more given the challenges the squad have faced, with injuries and suspensions mounting over a demanding few days.

Their campaign began with a 2-0 defeat to Bulgaria, in a game where the lads more than held their own for long spells.

Next came a tough test against a strong Thailand side. Aaron O’Leary and Darragh Buttle both found the net, but two red cards left the team short and they went down 5-2.

To bounce back and beat England says plenty about the character within this group.

It hasn’t all been about football either. The squad took part in the Opening Ceremony and also enjoyed a visit to a local high school, where they were warmly welcomed by their hosts 🇮🇪🇨🇳

The families who travelled out deserve a mention too for their support throughout the trip 💚

Next up for Wexford CBS is a Shield clash with Nepal tomorrow ⚽

Could Carmichael Uchenna be an Irish player who rises through the ranks and leaves supporters asking: “Where has he come from?” ⏳

For a younger audience, though, “Carm” will already be a familiar face.

Known online as “Staycarm”, he has built a huge profile in the UK football content scene. But those who followed him before that will know he was documenting his own football journey long before his content took off.

That journey began with local club Athboy Celtic in Meath, before moves to Cherry Orchard and then Shamrock Rovers. He was highly regarded at Rovers, playing alongside the likes of Naj Razi, Cory O’Sullivan, John O’Sullivan, Ryan Ritchie and Cian Dillon.

After moving to England as a teenager and having trials with Premier League academies, his route into senior football came through the non-league pyramid. The setbacks didn’t stop him chasing his dream.

In September, that persistence brought a significant step forward: a move from Leverstock Green to Wealdstone in the National League, where he has already made his first appearances.

And there’s plenty to like about his game. A powerful central midfielder with pace, excellent ball-carrying ability and a lovely left foot, he has the sort of profile that clubs love.

The 2006-born midfielder still has plenty of development ahead of him, but if he can establish himself at Wealdstone, he could become a genuine option for Ireland’s U21s in the next campaign.

It’s early days, but he’s certainly a player Irish supporters should start keeping an eye on. What a story it could become.

What a moment for two Irish U21 stars, linking up tonight to score the clinching goal against promotion-chasing Sheffield Wednesday.

A first goal for County for Lipsiuc and a first assist for Finneran and what a way to get them.

Pure brilliance from Finneran, whose body feint created the opening before he teed up Lipsiuc to squeeze the ball past the goalkeeper. The knee-slide celebration told you exactly how much it meant to him.

Finneran will rightly take plenty of the headlines for that magnificent assist, but both lads should be absolutely delighted with their contribution.

Two superb young players growing in confidence - more encouraging signs for Ireland’s U21s ahead of November’s play-offs.

𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐓𝐰𝐨 🎯

Two goals and an assist in Swindon’s 3-1 victory over Barnet tonight takes him to eight goals in 12 games this season, following on from his outstanding return of 22 league goals and five assists last term.

It’s been a slower start for Swindon this time around, with a few typically memorable Ian Holloway moments along the way, but Drinan continues to deliver. Three goals across his last two games, alongside his creative contributions, suggest he’s really finding his rhythm again.

When you look at his ability and goalscoring record, it’s hard to escape the feeling that he’s ready for a step up. Swindon did excellent business tying him down to a new contract last season, putting themselves in a strong position to keep him over the summer.

But you do wonder whether this will be his final season at this level. He’s developed into an exceptional striker who knows exactly where the back of the net is.

Hopefully, his goals can fire Swindon closer to the play-offs in the weeks ahead.

One of the greatest to ever do it and he’s only 19 - incredible.

The RB that really got away - NI already had Bradley and Hume when I spoke about Devlin as a potential option for us in December 2024. Shame that we never went for him, serious player but in fairness, came to the party very late.
