Caldwell: It’s all down to us now

After the spotlight shining on the Ireland women’s team at the start of the campaign for unusual reasons, Diane Caldwell feels it only fitting the same should apply at the business end approaches.

Never before have Ireland reached a major tournament at senior level but right now, with three qualifiers remaining, that opportunity rests in their control.

All that’s needed is a couple of results, even one win, from the double-header against Norway which starts this evening at Tallaght Stadium, and the concluding tie with Northern Ireland in September could constitute a chance of reaching the World Cup play-offs.
