Ireland avoided the wooden spoon at the women's World Cup in Australia with a 1-0 victory over Russia today.
However, they had a long wait for the tie to be decided and Jenny Burke's third goal of the tournament four minutes from time secured 15th place.
It was no more than the hard-working Irish deserved after previously losing five of their matches by one goal.
The game was a double celebration for Karen Humphreys, who won her 100th cap for Ireland.
