Ireland's U-16 girl’s made sure of a semi-final place at the European Youth Nations Championship beating the Czech Republic 3-1. Catholic Institute’s Naomi Carroll set the Irish on their way in the very first minute but they were rocked on their heals by the Czechs who leveled barely a couple of minutes later.
From there, both sides had chances but Katie Codyre’s goal swung the balance in the Irish girl’s favour. A much more polished performance in the second half saw Carroll add her second, ten minutes from time to seal a deserved win.
Its sees Ireland top the group after two games, ahead of tomorrow’s opponent Spain with both sides guaranteed a semi-final spot. The Netherlands and England have already qualified from the other pool, meaning the third series of games will decide the semi-final match-ups.
