Gerry Smith has included three players who ply their trade in the eircom League in his squad for the World Youth Championships next month.
The Republic of Ireland Under-20 manager has selected a strong squad with the likes of Sunderland dynamo Sean Thornton and Manchester City prospect Willo Flood among them.
Cork City's Kevin Doyle and Liam Kearney along with Stephen Paisley of Longford Town are also named in Smith's 20-strong squad.
Explaining his selection, Smith said: "I have tried to pick the squad in the fairest way I could. We had a long list of contenders and it was not easy to leave anyone out.
"I have tried to stay as close to the players who got us to the finals and I hope I've got it right. I know players will be disappointed but I also hope, too, they will understand that not everyone could be included. It was not an easy job."
