ROI U21s won 5-0; Stokesy MOTM, scored two, made three.
Cillian Sheridan ahead of him for first team though!!!!!!!!Philly McGuinness, Leitrim GAA, died playing in a club match for Mohill. He epitomised all that is best about sport, making a 6 hour round trip to training three times a week from his workplace in Mayo, and was never late. His motto was 'Give it all, or give nothing'. One for all sportsmen to consider.

Quote from someone who was at the game...
Just back from the game in Tallaght - such a change from the Armenia defeat in March. Sheridan played as the central target man with Stokes and Conor Clifford supporting him from the left and right. McCarthy was outstanding and seemed to be at the centre of most of Ireland's best passing moves. I do think his presence also took some pressure off Garvan who also had a good game.
Stokes' opening goal was very well taken when he cut inside his defender having received the ball from a McCarthy cross and curled a right-footed shot past the goalkeeper. He then won a penalty which he converted himself with a very cheeky chip (reminiscent of Abreu for Uruguay a few weeks back). Stokes returned the favour for McCarthy in the second half when he cut the ball back perfectly from the touchline to allow McCarthy a simple finish.
There was a hint of fortune about the fourth goal when Seamus Coleman's long-range shot was deflected past the goalkeeper. I thought it had taken a touch off an offside Irish player but I wasn't at the best angle to see. Coleman was given the goal and it was his last touch as he was substituted before the restart. Stokes was involved again for the last goal as he cut the ball back for Garvan to finish. A very comfortable performance with some excellent passing moves.
Cillian Sheridan worked hard but his touch can be very heavy at times. Hopefully he will improve in Bulgaria or he won't get too much of a look-in for CSKA (their fans are not the most patient). I know he is on standby if Doyle isn't fit for the seniors tomorrow but on tonight's display I'd prefer to see Stokes get a run. Also, James McCarthy needs to be brought back into the Senior panel for the qualification games in September - he is too good not to be in contention.

Good to see that new signing, David Stephens, had an impressive game for Wales Under 21s in a 1-1 draw with Malta tonight.

Just seen Stokes penalty (on youtube - please don't ask me the link I have no idea the best way to put a link on here).
If he does that in the SPL he could leave a few bemused looking keepers in the goals.

great to read the report and see the pen, hopefully back in his stride now.
strikes me as the epitomy of a player that, when on form is unbeatable, and when lacking confidence can really struggle.

Great to hear Stokesy getting back to form, he hasn't exactly been top drawer pre-season, but he has found form at the right time. Keep banging them in Stokesy!
