Championship midfielder added to Ireland squad for Luxembourg friendly
Bosun Lawal has been added to the Ireland squad for Tuesday's friendly in Luxembourg. The Stoke City man trained with the rest of Heimir Hallgrimsson's squad in Dublin today before the team flight. Hallgrimsson has reported no fresh injury concerns ahead of the game, with Lawal bolstering the midfield options. Lawal, 22, was dogged by a back injury this season and last, and made just seven appearances for Stoke in the Championship. But the former Bohemians, Celtic and Fleetwood Town man wants to finish the season on a high with a first senior cap. Ireland assistant manager John O'Shea was asked about the former Ireland Under-21 international in the build-up to Friday's 1-1 draw with Senegal. And he said at the time: 'It's been a frustrating one for Bosun. He trained with us last year and you were really hopeful that he'd have that game time with Stoke. 'It was frustrating for him with the (back) injury he picked up, but thankfully he was patient. If you try and rush back, he could suffer multiple injuries from it. 'It was frustrating not to get into the Stoke team in his ideal position either, but he played a few games towards the end of the season and was really impressive.' O'Shea added: 'I think it's only a matter of time before he will kick on like we expect.'

Kerry face tough group 2 opposition in Kennedy Cup schoolboy soccer tournament
Now, a decade later, the newest iteration of the squad is ready to make their own history. Last year's group lifted silverware in the Shield final, and this year's group is aiming to continue that trend. The competition will kick-off on Monday, June 9, and only last week Kerry learned their opponents as preparations for this competition really started to heat up. Ranked as the 16th seed going into the competition, Kerry entered pot 2, and were drawn against Group 2, a four-team pool that includes South Belfast, Tipperary South and North Tipperary. Of those teams, South Belfast come in as the sixth overall seed in the competition, and had a testing group stage in their Inter League, with themselves, Dundalk and NERL all ending up on six points. Belfast did contest the Shield Final, winning that game 2-0. Tipperary South and North Tipperary are very well familiar with themselves, not just in terms of geography but also the pair were in the same group during their Inter League campaign. North Tipp topped that group with a perfect performance, while their counterparts had just one win, finishing third. When it came to the knock-out stages North Tipperary made it to the cup final, which they lost 2-1 to Kildare. There is plenty of quality in group 2 with the other three teams full of confidence after winning silverware in UL earlier in the year. Results in the group will determine what pathway Kerry will end up following. First in the group will play in the Cup, with the Bowl, Shield and Trophy for the sides who finish second to fourth. Kerry finished bottom of their group last year by a narrow margin. Like every year, this year's Kennedy Cup is hard to call. It is a tough group already for Kerry, but they will have confidence ahead of their opening kick-off. Across the other groups action does look fierce, with two of the eight groups containing just three teams. Nevertheless, the competition will be a chance for a new chapter to be written, another legacy for Kerry soccer, the newest group led by Danny Diggins, Ken Cronin and Aidan O'Sullivan, have a wealth of talent and will look to show that on the big stage.
