CONGRATULATIONS to Senan Devine and Conor Wilson who have been called-up to Northern Ireland U19 and U17 squads respectively…
Gareth McAuley’s U19s are set to take on USA U19s on Saturday (11 October) and then Switzerland U19s next Tuesday (14 October). Both games are being played in Marbella, Spain.
Devine is part of the U19 squad after impressing during his loan tenure at H&W Welders.
The U19s will be competing in Group 13 in the qualifying round of U19 Euro 2026 qualifiers in November.
They are due to face Malta (12 November), Azerbaijan (15 November) and Czechia (18 November), with all games being staged in Malta.
Meanwhile, Wilson is named in the U17s squad who will be taking on Portugal and USA in friendlies at the Pinatar Arena complex in Murcia, Spain.
First up is a game against Portugal U17s on Thursday (9 October) at 3pm followed by a match against USA U17s on Saturday (11 October). It also has a 3pm kick-off local time.
The games will be used as preparation as the U17s are off to Cyprus later this month to compete in Group 11 in round one of the qualifiers for U17 Euro 2026. They will be facing Armenia (28 October), Cyprus (31 October) and Finland (3 November).
Coleraine FC naturally wishes both players the best of luck.
