Members of the club made the trip to Parc Uí Chaoimh on Tuesday to see The Irish WNT take on France in their final Euros 2025 Qualifier.

Only one soccer game has ever been held in Cork's home stadium previously. Teams of Manchester United and Celtic legends including Corkonians Roy Keane and Denis Irwin faced off at the stadium in 2018, in a tribute game to the late Liam Miller.

July's qualifier marked the Ireland WNT's first home games outside of Dublin in 12 years. Their EURO 2013 qualifiers against Wales and Scotland were held at Turners Cross, Cork City's home ground, in June 2012. It also marked a home game for squad regulars Denise O'Sullivan and Megan Connolly.

Eileen Gleeson's side were already assured of a play-off place for next year's tournament in Switzerland despite finishing bottom of their group, but they will take plenty from what was a first win over France for the women's team.

The visitors had heavily rotated their side but the Republic of Ireland were full value for their victory, taking a 2-0 lead in the second half after a pair of fine strikes from Denise O'Sullivan and Julie-Ann Russell.

As France threw on their big names from the bench Vicki Becho pulled one back, but Anna Patten's header in the 90th minute made the game safe.

The atmosphere was electric and it was a magnificent win. The children had a great day out. Best of luck to the Irish WNT in the euros
