Four Nations Semi-Professional Tournament

The Four Nations Semi-Professional Tournament is contested annually by England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. While the other three countries generally draw their players from their respective senior semi-professional leagues, Ireland has traditionally selected a predominantly under 21 squad for development purposes. This year's tournament is being hosted by Scotland and will take place from Tuesday 22 May 2007 to Sunday 27 May 2007 in the Inverness region.

Ireland will again be managed by former Shelbourne legend Mick Neville who will be supported by Bray Wanderers coach John Finnegan and goalkeeping coach Leo Tierney, who recently had a successful spell as caretaker manager of Sligo Rovers. The following players have been selected to represent Ireland:-

Goalkeepers	Midfielders
