Ireland 1 - 0 France. Ireland through to the World Student Games Semi Finals on Wed against Russia!

Noel King's Irish women's soccer side has advanced to the semi-finals at the World University Games in Bangkok by beating France 1-0 today. The Irish goal was scored by captain Sonya Hughes, from Balbriggan, who is studying in the States.

After losing the semi on penalties, the women lost the bronze medal match 2-1 to Brazil today. Desparately unlucky
