No luck for battling Ireland women

The Republic of Ireland bowed out of the UEFA Women’s U17 European Championships in Iceland following a 2-0 loss to Norway yesterday.

Dave Connell’s team knew they would not be making it out of Group B going into this game but still fought hard.

Norway’s goals came when Jenny Norem profited impressively from a loose ball at the back post and they got a second just before the break through an Ingrid Kvernvolden long-range strike.
