Australian teenager Mary Fowler is another that got away for Irish football. But there was an emotional homecoming last night in Tallaght for the rising star of the Australian game.

Fowler scored twice for the Matildas and was their outstanding player throughout, outshining superstar Sam Kerr on her 100th cap.
