Ireland win their first round in the World Cup Qualifiers
“Something we dreamt of has become reality,” said Pauw regarding the results. After a safe win of 1-0 against Finland last Thursday, Ireland is in good stead for their game against Slovakia tomorrow. If they win against Slovakia, they will be one of the three best second-placed teams, this means they will get to skip the first round of the playoffs. Pauw elaborated, “It will be extremely difficult because Slovakia is a good team. They have drawn against Finland – that was the major result – but there were other results that were very close too.”
What a night🤩🇮🇪 World Cup Play Off secured!
As the Girls In Green made history on the pitch, we brought fans together to watch the match at the @CamdenDeluxe.

Leona Maguire secures a top-10 finish in the LPGA Dana Open
Leona Maguire achieves her 6th top-10 finish of the season at the Dana Open in Ohio. She started the day very strong in forth place but a two-under 69 pushed her down to tie in 10th place on the 13-under par. Nevertheless, a good result for the Irish golfer in what has been a very busy season.
There’s something about Toledo in September 🤗 Rallied after a rough start to manage a top10 to get the US swing started again, looking forward to another week on Ohio pic.twitter.com/Ttyqcsy4Cz
