Donegal duo Tyler Toland and Amber Barrett have both been named in Eileen Gleeson's Republic of Ireland squad for the Euro 2025 play-off final against Wales.
A squad of 24 players has been selected for the two-legged play-off as Ireland bid to qualify for the UEFA Women’s European Championships for the first time.
Barrett, who plays her club football with Standard Liege in Belgium, is one of five strikers selected - while Blackburn Rovers Toland will be one of the midfield options for Ireland.
Aston Villa's Anna Patten, whose grandfather hailed originally from Falcarragh, is in there too.
Galway Utd's Julie-Ann Russell, whose brother John is Sligo Rovers men's boss, is also included.
Ireland play the opening leg of their play-off on Friday week (Nov 29th) at Cardiff City Stadium, before hosting the Welsh in the return game at the Aviva four days later.
Victory over the two legs would secure qualification for the Euro finals in Switzerland in July 2025.
