Desperate causes call for desperate measures so Limerick native Claire O’Riordan had no qualms about joining the attack to help her MSV Duisburg side claim a precious Bundesliga point recently.

The Ireland international’s side are stranded at the foot of the table and would have sunk even closer to relegation had O’Riordan not popped up to score a last-minute equaliser against SC Sand, another side trying to avoid the drop.
