Town’s U18s got back into winning ways ahead of Thursday’s FA Youth Cup tie with a 3-2 victory at Charlton on Saturday. Defender Josh Meekings (pictured) scored the Blues’ first in the opening period before Caolan Lavery, who made his Northern Ireland U21 debut last week, netted twice in the second half.
Loanee defender Darren O’Dea has been confirmed in the Republic of Ireland squad for their friendly against Norway in Dublin on Wednesday. The Celtic man was named in the preliminary squad but Town were in talks with the FAI regarding his inclusion in the final party.
