Megan Campbell's class shines out

Northern Ireland 0 Republic of Ireland 2: Megan Campbell starred for Ireland last night as they easily overcame Northern Ireland in Lurgan to begin their 2019 World Cup quest with victory.

Colin Bell’s Ireland needed to be patient in their pursuit of victory in their manager’s first game at the helm. They forged ahead through a Rachel Furness own-goal in stoppage time at the end of the first half.

Manchester City defender Campbell has forced the mistake from one of her trademark throw-ins — and her prowess with the boot was also evident with a stunning second second after 69 minutes.
