Match report

Republic of Ireland B 0-1 Belgium B
Peter Gerkens 80

A last-minute goal from team captain and midfielder Peter Gerkens of RC Gent gave the visitors Belgium a deserved win in this B international double header at Blarney this afternoon.

The Belgians had been applying all the pressure in the last ten minutes and got their reward with a last-gasp winner as Gerkens bundled the ball into the net in a goalmouth scramble.

Minutes earlier, Gerkens had a great header taken off-the-line by full-back Conor Whittle and then Stephen Morris did exceptionally well to smother substitute Thomas Grillets effort in a one-on-one with three minutes to go.

Colin O Briens Irish side were the physically stronger unit and in a scoreless first half they squandered chances with Andy O Connor, Eoghan O Connell and Alan O Sullivan, three times, all off target.

Rep of Ireland B: Morris (St. Kevins); Whittle (de la Salle), O Connell (Avondale), Casey (Avenue Utd), Mahony (Crumlin Utd); O Driscoll (Skibbereen), Lucey (Lakewood Ath) capt, Verdon (Stella Maris), Wixted (Stella Maris); O Sullivan (Home Farm), O Connor (de la Salle).

Subs: Crowe (Stella Maris) for Verdon, Lyons (Barna Utd) for O Sullivan (both h/t), McCarthy (Skibbereen) for Wixted (60 mins), McDonald (St. Kevins) for O Connor (70 mins),
