The Island manager sends his players into battle against England C tonight at Springfield, before taking the majority of his Gotland 2017 squad to Cork and Limerick on Saturday and Sunday for games against Republic of Ireland’s top amateurs.

‘Senior football is about trying to win games,’ he said.
