Ireland's women gave a sold-out crowd in the Sport Ireland Campus a day to cherish as they secured their first points of their FIH Hockey Pro League debut season against England. 

Despite Ireland being on top, nothing could separate the sides at full time, with Sarah Torrans' quarter-two goal for Ireland cancelled out by Elena Rayer's strike. But Ireland triumphed in the shootout, with Hannah McLoughlin scoring and Elizabeth Murphy making the definitive save in sudden death.
