Ballingarry under 15 player Anthony Forde will be travelling to Turkey on September 14th next with the Republic Of Ireland under 16 squad for their two friendly fixtures against the Turks. This is a huge honour for the club as Anthony becomes the first ever Ballingarry player to play international football.

Already he has appeared in the green jersey at under 15 level when he played against Northern Ireland in Belfast in May while he played against Wales in the 1-0 win at under 16 level in Whitehall on August 28th last when his performance generated much attention across the Irish sea with Blackburn Rovers, Wolves and Derby County eyeing his progress.
