Key win for Irish women's hockey team

The Irish Women's Hockey team secured a vital win over hosts Italy (2-1) at the World Cup Qualifying tournament in Rome this afternoon (3pm Irish time).

An Irish win looked a distant possibility with just over 20 minutes to go as Italy took the lead, but the Irish women hit back with an equaliser from Limerick's Eimear Cregan 10 minutes later, and Kilkenny's Catriona Carey scored an amazing winner for Ireland with a mere 12 seconds left on the clock.
