Corkman Playing for Sint Maarten

Recently, the Dutch territory of Sint Maarten (CONCACAF members, but not FIFA-affiliated) played their first international match in over 10 years in preparation for qualifying for the Caribbean Cup -- a 2-0 friendly victory over neighboring Anguilla.  I run a website for football in the Caribbean, and in my research, I found that a Corkman by the name of Kevin Dekkers started for Sint Maarten on the day and, I would assume, will be in their squad for their upcoming Caribbean Cup matches against Grenada and USVI.  This may be of no interest to anyone but me, but I thought I would share it as it is a full international team, and you don't see too many Irish-born players representing other countries (or territories).

Former Ireland youth international Keiran Murtagh has also been called up by Antigua and Barbuda, who he has represented on a number of occasions previously as well.

Interesting to hear that. I'm pretty sure that when we played Gibraltar last September, they'd an Irish born player on their bench. Interestingly another team that's not a FIFA member. Eamon Zayed with Libya is the only other Irish born player representing another nation I can think of.

Ive no idea what shape Cameroon are in, but that must be a bit of a giant killing?!
