Former Steve Hale Goalkeeping School goalkeeper, Conor Thompson who I currently still coach at Swindon Town's Centre of Excellence, made his Victory Shield debut for the Northern Ireland Under 16 squad against Scotland featured live on Sky Sports on Friday evening.
Conor figured in a recent friendly against Finland and kept a clean sheet and secured his place in the squad for the tournament. Despite losing 3-0 to a strong Scotland side, Conor made a succession of great saves including one brilliant triple save, and he did so wearing the "SH Ultimate Grip" goalkeeping gloves!!! Well done Conor
