Róisin Upton said: “There was a talking to at half time, ‘switch on, get back in the game, play to our standards’.

“Sean (Dancer, coach) had a word about chasing the opportunity. You only get five game in this competition and not to waste any of them.

“Sean has come in and injected even more belief, even since the World Cup last year. We start to believe we can compete with the top teams and that is half the battle. But it’s still a flip of a coin between the top four and the bottom four.”

Raheen woman Róisin Upton returned to playing her club hockey with local side Catholic Institute last season.
