QUOTES
Eileen Gleeson (Interim Head Coach)
“We had an excellent start to our UEFA Nations League campaign with the win over Northern Ireland in front of a record crowd. It was a historic day, but now our full focus is on the next game against Hungary to ensure that we do all that we can to take the three points on offer.
*
“Hungary will be a difficult opponent and playing at home gives them an extra edge. We won't take anything for granted as we aim for another three points.”
