“The squad has been working very hard during the summer and these games will enable me to have a good look at everyone before we embark on our Victory Shield campaign,” added Curry.
After the Finland trip, Northern Ireland will host Poland at Knockbreda on Tuesday October 8 and at Newry on Thursday October 10.
