Cork City's Eva Mangan has earned a first call-up to the Ireland women's national team for the European Championship qualifier with Sweden in Stockholm on June 4th.

The 19-year-old midfielder, who captains Danny Murphy's side, has impressed this season for Cork, who sit fifth in the table, a much improved showing on recent seasons.
