Women's soccer/ World Cup qualifier: The Republic of Ireland today aim to finish their qualifying campaign on a high against Germany at Richmond Park.
Ireland face the World and European champions without five guaranteed starters, but manager Noel King has called up under-19 players Meabh de Búrca of Salthill Devon and Dundalk's Grace Murray.
Ireland are second from bottom in Group Four but with Switzerland just one point behind with three games to play, the Irish really could do with something from today's game.
Russia lead the group on 15 points but Germany are three behind with two games in hand.
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND SQUAD: Grant (Arsenal), O'Connor (Long Island Fury), Scanlan (Bristol Academy WFC), Moran (New York Athletic Club), O'Toole (Raheny Utd), Caldwell (Raheny Utd), O'Gorman (Stella Maris), Griffin (Benfica), Byrne (Arsenal), Boyle (Raheny Utd), Fahey (Salthill Devon), Deasley (Long Island Fury), Peters (Michigan Phoenix), Hughes (New Hampshire Phantoms), Hislop (New Hampshire Phantoms), Thomas (Long Island Lady Riders), O'Driscoll (Unattached), De Búrca (Salthill Devon), Murray (Dundalk).
