Colin Bell: Every game a cup final on road to Euros

Manager Colin Bell says that every game will be “like a cup final” for the senior Irish women’s team as they bid to make it to their first ever major tournament, the 2021 European Championship finals in England.

The Irish will certainly be playing the role of cup ‘minnows’ when they take on mighty Germany, after yesterday’s draw for the qualifiers pitted the girls in green against the side currently ranked number two in the world behind the USA. Ukraine, Greece and Montenegro make up the rest of Ireland’s opposition in Group I.
