Emma Doherty is lining out for Sligo Rovers this season in the SSE Airtricity Women's National League
Emma Doherty from Buncrana grabbed both the goals as the Republic of Ireland Women's Under-19s defeated Czech Republic at the City Stadium in Opava this evening in their opening Uefa Women's Under-19 European Championships qualifying fixture.
Doherty, who turned 18 this week, is a student at Scoil Mhuire and on the books of Sligo Rovers in the SSE Airtricity Women's National League. She got away from the Czech defence to shoot Ireland ahead on 47 minutes and then sealed the 2-0 win with a header in the last minute.
