Timmy Cockram's 50th minute goal was enough to give Ireland a 1-0 win over Wales in Wrexham on Saturday afternoon in terrbile conditions in a scrappy and bitty game.

The Garvey man netted from a corner switch while David Harte pulled off a series in the closing phases to ensure the clean-sheet and the win.

Afterwards, Paul Revington was pleased with his sides first half performance, saying: “The team did well to get themselves into the game early on and create a foundation to play off. They enjoyed a great phase midway through the first half as they created quality turnovers and counter-attacks. They were disssappointed not to capitalise in this period”.
