Managing the mental side of things will be crucial between now and the replay on the first weekend of January.

At 0-15 to 0-9, after Eimear Hurley's point, the third of three on the trot for the Leesiders, it seemed to be game over.

But a 56th minute goal by sub Anna Jordan, a brace of points from Sabina Rabbitte, and a cool equaliser from Kayla Madden turned it all on its head.
