BOYS IN GROAN

IRELAND fans remained upbeat in searing hot Tbilisi despite last night’s disappointing World Cup qualifying draw with Georgia.

Thousands of Irish spectators made their way to the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena for the clash.

The Boys in Green were outclassed by the hosts in the early stages of the game but Shane Duffy’s fourth minute goal was good enough to earn a share of the spoils.
