A 3-0 victory over Hungary rounded off a successful week for the Ireland U-15s, who remained undefeated in normal time in the international tournament. Ireland drew against Netherlands and Spain earlier in the week - losing on penalties on both occasions. Prominent throughout the week were SKB/BOHS players Sean Grehan, Jamie Mullins, Cian Kelly, Evan Ferguson and the recently departed Ben Curtis.
Ben Curtis found the back of the net after a well-worked short corner in the 43rd minute. Ireland doubled their lead with a classy counter-attack strike. Hungary failed to deal with the pace of the attack and Cian Kelly notched his third goal of the week with a superb half-volley in the 55th minute. In the final minute of the game, Ireland, who saw 19 of the 20-player squad play in today's game, added a third goal through substitute Evan Ferguson. He rose highest to flick in a right-sided free-kick to record an impressive victory to end the tournament.
