TWIN
STRIKE FROM MO
(Tuesday 10th October 2000)
Wycombe
midfielder Mo Harkin
did his international and domestic career a power of good with two goals for the
Northern Ireland Under 21 side in their Euro U21 Qualifier in Iceland.
Harkin made the score 3-0 in the 37th minute after Blackburn's Gary Hamilton and
Ipswich's Sean Friars had both netted within the opening eleven minutes. The
Wycombe midfielder added another just after the hour mark before Grant McCann
put the Irish 5-0 ahead. The home side had a late rally with goals from
Gunnarsson and Gudjonsson, while Wayne Carlisle was sent off for the Irish in
the 90th
minute as the game ended Iceland 2 Northern Ireland 5. Harkin, who also
appeared as a substitute for the Under 21's in last Friday's 3-0 reverse to
Denmark in Belfast, turned
21 in August and this will be the last season he is legible to qualify for the
Under 21's side.
ROGERS GET CAP
(Monday 9th October 2000)
Wycombe
defender Mark Rogers had to wait until the 90th minute of the Canada
versus Panama World Cup Qualifier to make his International debut. Rogers was on
the bench for the match at the Winnipeg Soccer Complex and came on to replace
Daniel Imhof during three minutes of stoppage time. Canada won the game 1-0
thanks to an 82nd minute goal from Nottingham Forest striker Jim Brennan. It was
the Canadians' first win in five games and also ends a run of five games without
a goal.
Despite the brief appearance Rogers becomes the first player to gain a full
international cap while at Wycombe and will have a chance to turn out for his
country again when Canada take on Mexico at the Varsity Stadium in Toronto on
Wednesday 15th November as Canada complete their World Cup campaign.
