West Ham United youngster Anthony Scully continued his fine international form with another goal in Republic of Ireland U19s’ 2-1 friendly win over Czech Republic on Monday.
The 17-year-old opened the scoring in Waterford, where the Boys in Green completed back-to-back victories over the Czechs, following Friday’s success by the same scoreline.
Scully netted the winner on that occasion, but this time he was the first to find the net, converting a penalty on the stroke of half-time at the Waterford Regional Sports Centre.
The Hammers teenager was joined in the Ireland squad by Club-mate Conor Coventry, who was for substitute in Monday’s fixture after starting the first meeting.
Both will hope to retain their places in Tom Mohan’s squad for their country’s opening 2018 UEFA European U19 Championship fixtures next month.
The Irish kick-off their Group 7 challenge by travelling to Azerbaijan on 4 October before welcoming Cyprus three days later. Serbia are the fourth team in Ireland’s group, with the top to going through to the Elite Round. There, the seven group winners will join hosts Finland at the tournament next July.
