Republic of Ireland Under-21 captain Conor Coventry has said that he and his team-mates are 'devastated' after losing on penalties to Israel on Tuesday night.
Victory would have seen Ireland reach the U21 European Championships for the first time in the nation's history at that age group.
But a goalless draw on the night, after a 1-1 draw in Tallaght on Friday, sent the tie to penalties where Israel secured victory.
