Stephen Kenny's son in line for second Northern Ireland start after debut against Manchester United

The Dundalk player qualifies having been born in Derry while his father was manager of the Candystripes.

EOIN KENNY COULD earn his second start for Northern Ireland tomorrow night after he made his debut in a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United in the SuperCup NI on Monday.

The Dundalk youth team player, son of Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny, was part of a side that held a two-goal lead before eventually losing out to the Old Trafford youngsters.

Kenny qualifies for Northern Ireland having been born in Derry while his father was manager there at the time. Gerard Lyttle, the former Sligo Rovers boss, called the teenager up to the U18s after impressing at Oriel Park.

The two sides meet again tomorrow at the Ballymena Showgrounds.
