Harps pair score in Ireland U19s win over Faroe Islands

Finn Harps’ Gavin McAteer and Josh Cullen found the back of the net as the Republic of Ireland Under 19s secured a 5-0 win over Faroe Islands on Monday afternoon.

Noel Hunt’s outfit met Faroe Islands in an international friendly in Slovenia on Monday where Cillian Tollett (2), Charles Akinrintoyo, Cullen and McAteer bagged the goals in a superb win.

The group commenced their quartet of friendly matches last Friday when they met England at St George’s Park, with Max Dowman scoring the winner in a 1-0 victory for the hosts.

Donegal Town’s Cullen and Milford native McAteer will both be aiming to build on Monday’s display and continue to make their mark in the green shirt.
