Joyce pleased with trip

One or two gave a reasonable account of themselves and people might go back and talk about them and try to follow their progress.

"The good thing about being a footballer is you always get another chance. They will get back and knuckle down in training and be at the maxium again on Friday and Saturday.

"Both were proper footballing games, competitive too, against teams who handle the ball well so it's been great for us.

"We're trynig to produce decent human beings as well as good footballers at United and that's why it's great for them to come and experience this in Ireland. It's good to be playing against people who want to beat you."
