Marc Walsh in action for Ireland against Poland.
SOCCER: Gweedore Celtic star Marc Walsh capped a dream few days by scoring for the Republic of Ireland U15 side against Poland.
Ireland defeated Poland 3-1 in an entertaining friendly international this afternoon.
Walsh was a constant menace to the Polish and his direct running caused them all sorts of problem in defence.
Poland took the lead early on before Ireland levelled shortly after the restart.
Walsh then won the penalty for Ireland's second goal, before scoring Ireland's third after excellent and expertly dispatched finish.
Marc's brother John posted the following report on Facebook, "Great win today for Ireland, they went down 1-0 at half time but came out far stronger in the second half.
Ireland's captain scored a free kick, Marc then went on a run down the right cut inside and was taken down by the polish full back inside the box. The penalty was scored, 2-1 Ireland.
Then with 5mins to go with Poland pressing, a great ball from the back put Marc one-on-one with the keeper, his first touch took him wide but he cut back inside again and with everyone thinking he was going to square it, he fired a peach into the far top corner.
Needless to say the Walsh's made a show of themselves
What a day, we are super, super proud ☘"
