As a Bohs player, Darragh Leahy has only lost once at Tallaght Stadium such was the Gypsies hold over Shamrock Rovers until last week. But the left-back hopes the south Dublin venue also becomes a happy hunting ground for him with Ireland. Leahy was part of the Irish side that dismantled Luxembourg 3-0 in Stephen Kenny's first game in charge in March. And tomorrow night, Ireland will look to make it two wins from two in their Euro qualifying campaign when they face Armenia. Ireland hope to reach an Under-21s tournament for the first time and Leahy's one and only tattoo reads: "Don't live your life, live your dream". Of that finals push, the former Coventry City youth said: "Stephen Kenny has been drilling that into us since day one. "That's our goal. We're not here to make up the numbers. We want to qualify and make a bit of history. "It's European football at Under-21 level so it's going to be very tough. They will be hard to break down. "But if we do what we did against Luxembourg and push on from what we did in Toulon, we would have to fancy ourselves." And Swords native Leahy added: "Apart from playing against his Dundalk team, I didn't know Stephen at all but I’ve loved every minute working under him."
