U17's await their Elite Round opposition and the draw is shortly, I believe.

Meanhwhile, the draw for the next comp Qualifying round was made, and they will face the following teams in the first group stages:
Norway
Belarus
Armenia.

Same story with top two progressing and hopefully the next crop of 17's can get out of that group.

I would rate the U17s currently higher then the U19s if I'm being honest. Maybe I rate them too highly but I was even slightly dissapointed they didn't beat Poland and get a box seat draw so to speak in Pot 1. They were the 9th ranked team so just missed out. They should have beaten Poland inexperience and needing only a draw worked against them. 

I'd be dissapointed if they didn't qualify now as they are a decent crop. I'm happy the U19s got to the elite round which is the Top 28 teams currently as they wouldn't be as good overall as the 01/02 born lads or the 05/06 born lads in the 17s for me.

U17's are weaker outfit though if Zefi has been moved to the U19 squad.

Adam Murphy(2005) has been out injured for a while. He’ll be part of u17 team,possible captain. Top quality player who’ll make up part of the missing of Zefi

My Dad is best mates with Adam's Dad, has always spoken about the quality he has. Be interesting to see how he progresses at Pats over the next couple of years.

U17 (and U18) 2021 review....worth a watch, and will post the links to the 19's and 21's in their threads in a sec.

Interesting we'll have an U17 double-header in February in preparation for the Elite phase games in March.

Sorry, another edit - so U18's will become a competitive age-group this year.
More internationals at underage can only be a good thing, and the gap between U17 and U19 is significant, so a proper U18 setup will bridge that nicely and give more players a chance to shine on the International stage.

Seems like there was an U18 squad announced today for some friendlies in Feb.

Does that squad need it's own thread on here now?

Could probably combined it with this thread given Colin O'Brien is head coach of both teams.

My understanding is that the 22/23 season will be the first where the U18 category will be competitive (as in, recognised underage caps and a real competition, as opposed to non-competitive/binding friendlies).

Is Colin O'Brien now the U18 manager and we will backfull the U17 coaching team?

Cant find the squad but heard a lad in my estate was called up. Decent player but couldn’t believe he got in. Big powerful lad but he’s a spoiler. Breaks things up but technically he’d be very average

Bloxham has even captained England at U15 level before, so obviously well thought of at the time. I wonder what his connection to Ireland is?
