Finn Harps pair Rowan McGroarty and Declan Patton have been selected for the Republic of Ireland Schoolboys squad for the upcoming SAFIB Centenary Shield.
Both players were part of the Finn Harps Under-17 team that secured the National League of Ireland Academy Shield last November, beating Drogheda United 3-0 in the decider.
In this competition, the Republic of Ireland will face Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
