New Head Coach Paul Osam's first tournament with the Irish under 16 International side ended without a win when they played a 1-1 draw against Scotland in the last game of this season's Victory Shield Tournament but he was pleased with the overall performance of the group which included two SKB players goalkeeper Brian Maher and mid fielder Dominic Peppard.
