Jamie Finn felt she put herself in the frame for the World Cup qualifiers by collecting Ireland’s player-of-the-match award in Thursday’s 1-0 defeat to Denmark.

An early goal at Tallaght gave the European Championship finals bound Danes victory in the friendly but more important for Ireland boss Vera Pauw was the progression of her squad in the context of the next campaign.
