Ireland ladies hold out for draw

Ireland held out for a creditable 0-0 draw with South Korea in the Women's World Cup qualifier in Rome.

The result earned them their second point and, after two matches, kept them in touch with the leading sides in their six-nation group.

New Zealand are next up on Saturday as the Irish look to secure a top-four spot in their group which would at least keep their World Cup hopes alive for the classification matches.
