Ireland Women Beat Poland Again

Carla Ward's team delivered a disciplined performance to secure back-to-back wins against the same opposition within a week.

While the match was often a cagey affair, Ireland's defensive solidity, led by Anna Patten and Emily Murphy, proved impenetrable for the Polish attack.

The result provides a significant boost to Ireland's qualifying campaign, though they will be without star midfielder Denise O'Sullivan for their next match due to suspension.

Ward praised the 'proper Irish performance' and the growing chemistry within her squad as they target a place in the tournament in Brazil.
