O’Sullivan geared up for key World Cup qualifier

Although the pain still lingers from last month’s slender defeat to European Champions Germany, Cork girl Denise O’Sullivan has pledged to put it right by helping Ireland to victory in tonight’s World Cup qualifier against Russia at Tallaght Stadium (7.30pm).

O’Sullivan, now full-time with Scottish club, Glasgow City, was one of Ireland’s standout performers in the 3-2 defeat against the runaway group leaders.

A win this evening will see Ireland leapfrog above their visitors into the play-off spot at the halfway stage of the campaign.
