Julie-Ann Russel was one of three goal-scorers tonight against France and also provided an assist in a memorable night.
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND’S Julie-Ann Russell says she will need a few days to absorb the enormity of what she has achieved after scoring two goals in two crucial games for her country.
“I actually have no words,” she said after the France win. “It was an unbelievable game, the crowd were magnificent from start to finish. Advertisement “Everyone that played was brilliant, gave absolutely everything they had and it was lovely to give the crowd three goals and to end the campaign with a win. My dad is actually from Cork in Albert Road, he was beaming with joy and I’ve relations from Douglas so it was great to have them all here.”
“It was really, really emotional,” Russell continued. “I never thought I’d be playing for Ireland again so to get that call from Eileen Gleeson was amazing. I can’t really describe the feeling. And the to get minutes the last day, and then to start today, it’s all been like a dream. I need a few days to reflect and take it all in.
