Women's International: Ireland 0 Scotland 1

Ireland's women fell to a second defeat to Scotland in a cagey encounter at Banbridge. Hermes' Emma Grey - earning just her second cap - was the busier keeper in the first half, a half which saw Scotland edge the corner count 3-2.

A bright start to the second period by the Irish, though, was rocked by the concession of a penalty stroke which Emma Rochlin converted in the 55th minute for the game's only goal.

Ireland pushed on in the latter stages but could not break the Scot's defensive line but Gene Muller was pleased with the step up in performance.
