a 1–0 loss at Worksop Town; he started the match, but had to be substituted due to injury in the eleventh minute. He made one further appearance for the Miners in the FA Vase, starting against Ashton Athletic before again being substituted. International career Although born in England, Kenny qualified to play for the Republic of Ireland as both his parents are Irish. He was called up by manager Brian Kerr and made his debut in 2004 as late substitute in a 2–1 win against the Czech Republic, before going on to make his first start in a 1–0 friendly victory over Jamaica. Kenny won seven caps before deciding to retire from international football in 2007, asking then manager Steve Staunton not to consider him for selection to allow him to sort out personal issues. Despite declaring himself ready to play for Ireland again multiple times from 2008 onwards he was never called up again.
