Darren Murphy looks set to have his mercy request answered with Oisin Cooney set to be released from U-19 International duty for this evening's crucial League of Ireland First Division clash away to Bray Wanderers.
The Clonmany stopper was in Croatia for a warm-up tournament with the Republic of Ireland as final preparation for the U-19s’ EURO Qualifications next month where Ireland will face Moldova, Azerbaijan and Iceland.
And on Wednesday, the talented teenage goalkeeper was between the posts for Ireland as they drew 2-2 with Greece in their opening game of the tournament.
