For the second game in a row, the Ireland Women's Under-19s secured a victory over Wales in Collier Park, Wrexham with the scoreline ending 6-0 in their favour.Earlier in the week, the Girls in Greem recorded a 7-0 triumph over the same opponent and they displayed the same attacking class in this game.The goals came from Ceola Bergin (3), Kate Parsons, Eve Dossen and Rola Olusola as Dave Connell's team showed that they are getting sharper with their finishing.Even though Wexford Youths ace Bergin scored a hat-trick - again showing her ability in front of goal - this was very much a team effort. From the goalkeeper through the spine of the line-up up to the forwards, they worked hard for each other and played as a unit.
RESULT | 🇮🇪 6-0 🏴
Another win for #IRLWU19 with goals from Ceola Bergin (3), Kate Parsons, Eve Dossen and Rola Olusola 👍#COYGIG | #WeAreOne
