McGeehan starts in Italy defeat
Town’s on-loan Norwich City midfielder Cameron McGeehan played an hour in Northern Ireland U21s’ 2-0 defeat against Italy in their UEFA U21 Championship clash today, writes Mike Simmonds.
The 18-year-old started for the hosts at Mourneview Park in Lurgan as the scores were goalless at the break.
In the second period, Italy went ahead on 59 minutes through Empoli defender Daniele Rugani, before McGeehan was replaced by Crewe Alexandra’s Liam Nolan just after the hour mark.
The Italians sealed victory late on as Brentford’s on-loan Fulham striker Marcello Trotta netted.
Northern Ireland’s next qualifier is against Serbia U21s in September.
