Sligo Rovers teenager Emma Doherty scored both of Ireland's goals in Wednesday evening's 2-0 win against the Czech Republic in a women's European under-19 qualifier.
Buncrana native Doherty, who's in her Leaving Cert year, broke the deadlock in the 48th minute in Opava when she raced clear of the Czech back four to finish superbly to the net.
