Claire Rockall after defeat: The effort was there but the shots wouldn’t drop

The disappointment was clear to see in the Irish camp as Sarah Woods reflected on her team’s disappointing performance in last night’s defeat to Luxembourg.

Woods said: “It was a very disappointing as we knew what they were capable of doing but the bottom line is that when you are playing a team of that class you need to turn up.”

The DCU Mercy ace forward was miffed as she was a member of the Irish side that defeated Luxembourg last year.
