The 19-year-old, whose father Mark is a former Ireland international and was looking on, made his debut for the under-19s last night.

After Dessie Hutchinson had opened the scoring, Jamie McGrath and Ryan Manning both bagged braces before Jack Hallahan completed the rout at Dublin's Tallaght Stadium.

The two teams meet again tomorrow for a second friendly. Kinsella made his senior debut for the Saddlers earlier this season.
