Denise O'Sullivan has called for more Republic of Ireland matches to be played at Páirc Uí Chaoimh after an electric atmosphere powered the Girls in Green past France on Tuesday evening.
That's the reward for gaining seeded status via the team's overall European Qualifier ranking, and it begs the question: will Ireland come back to Cork for one of those play-off fixtures?"I grew up in this city," she said."The city has done a lot for me, so to play here in Cork is phenomenal. I think we should be playing here more often, should be a bit more spread out.
O'Sullivan was walking on air as she spoke to the media in the aftermath of a strong Irish showing. The pace of attacking duo Leanne Kiernan and Julie-Ann Russell emboldened her team to execute the sort of high-pressing gameplan they've been striving for. "Yeah, unbelievable to do it in front of my family and more importantly beat a world-class team. Getting three points, it’s going to stand to us."
