Take a bow each

Some more of this from the Senior Men’s team in France, please.

Ireland Women’s U17 side came from behind in stunning circumstances to move to the top of their UEFA European Championship Elite Phase qualifying group at the weekend.

In their opening fixture against Hungary, Ireland fell behind to a goal midway through the first half from Fanni Vachter but they never allowed doubt to creep into their minds.

Dave Bell rallied his troops and managed to get two of the finest strikes you’re ever going to see out out them.

The equaliser came from Saoirse Noonan shortly after half-time and, although the Hungary goalkeeper should have done better, you can’t take anything away from the scooping strike of Noonan.

If Ireland’s first was somewhat fortuitous, their second was anything but as substitute Lauren Kelly delivered maximum points with this unstoppable wallop into the top corner with just ten minutes remaining.
