International date at the New York

THE New York Stadium is to host another international game.

England U19s take on Italy U19s there on Friday, November 14, the match marking head coach Sean O'Driscoll's first match on home soil after the former Doncaster Rovers boss took over last month.

The New York Stadium hosted its first international game last year when England Women took on Canada. Earlier this year, England's Men's U18s beat Germany 2-1 in front of a crowd of over 9,000.

O'Driscoll's side are currently in Luxembourg where they face the hosts, Belgium and Belarus in the Elite Qualifying Round for next summer's U19s European Championship.

With an impressive performance last month away to Germany, where England were unfortunate not to win the game which ended in a 1-1 draw, O'Driscoll's Young Lions will be eager to put on a good show against Italy in South Yorkshire.

Tickets will be on sale shortly.
