Katie McCabe ready to take shot at history in 2018

After a year of turbulence and triumph for the Irish women’s team, skipper Katie McCabe is relishing the chance to make history in 2018.

It has become one of the defining images of Irish sporting success in 2017: the Irish senior women’s team joyously celebrating in their dressing room after holding the Netherlands to a scoreless draw in a World Cup qualifier in Nijmegen in November.

The soundtrack to which the girls in green bounced up and down and sang along was Rihanna’s We Found Love (In A Hopeless Place).
