Young Hammer Anthony Scully helped the Republic of Ireland U18s to 3-1 win against Hungary
The Republic of Ireland U18s were 3-1 winners over Hungary on Thursday night and young Hammer Anthony Scully played his part in the win, assisting the Boys in Green’s second goal.
The fixture, held in Kestvallen, was the side’s first in a three-team tournament being held in Sweden this week and the young squad will face the hosts on Saturday in their second match.
Scully started for Tom Mohan’s side and completed 83 minutes before he was replaced by Shamrock Rovers youngster Sean Boyd.
Ireland took the lead after just 27 minutes when Wolves man Conor Levingston fired home after the ball came to him from a corner kick.
Just before the break, Hungary drew level through Mate Kemenyffy but just ten minutes after the restart Ireland were once again in front, as Scully provided Ronan Hale to find the back of the net with a neat finish.
And a gloss was added to the scoreline in injury time as Dundalk’s Michael O’Connor grabbed Ireland’s third, turning home Simon Power’s right-wing cross.
The young Republic of Ireland side next face Sweden on Saturday at Stålringens ishall with an 11am kick-off.
