Tough draws for Irish Under-17s and 19s on road to Women's European Championships

Ireland’s Under-17 and 19 sides have learned their opponents in round two of the Women’s European Championship qualifiers, with both age groups being drawn in tricky groups.

The 17s must travel to France next March to face the group hosts, Italy and Kosovo in Group A5.

In the new format, the winners of the seven ‘A’ groups will qualify for the finals in Estonia, while the fourth placed side will be relegated to the ‘B’ division.

James Scott's team topped their group in Round 1 following wins over Finland and Northern Ireland.

As for the 19s, they were drawn in Group A1 alongside Norway, Germany and Croatia.

Norway will host the matches in early April, with the same qualification/relegation format applying.
