NOO GIRL'S FAB HOMECOMING

Denmark, Ireland will have a second bite of the cherry.

- 

And if they can follow Noonan’s lead, and make it second time lucky, then Carla Ward's side can look forward to top-tier football next year in the World Cup qualifiers.

The Celtic striker didn’t score when she represented Cork at the iconic Leeside stadium in 2020, in a league match against Westmeath, but she found the net yesterday evening.

“It was a bit surreal,” she said of her goal. “Obviously my first competitive start so I was just trying to find my feet, ease my way into the game and not get caught up in the moment.

“It's unbelievable, I'm absolutely delighted.”

She added: “Obviously the first thing was to go out and win the game but the bigger picture, we obviously wanted to get the goals.
