Under-18 Squad Announcement
The latest Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad has been announced and Mervue Utd's Ryan Manning has been named in the squad.
Ryan has been in excellent form all season banging in goals for fun for the club's Under 19, Youths and Under 17 sides and has continued that goal scoring touch in the Airtricity League with five goals in the First Division to be Mervue's leading scorer so far this campaign.
The squad has been selected from home-based 
players participating in the Emerging Talent Programme.
The squad will travel to England in August to play two friendlies against Ipswich Town on August 12th and 14th. The side will be coached by Stephen O'Mahony.
