Donegal’s Amber Barrett and Tyler Toland have been named in the Republic of Ireland Women’s squad for their World Cup play-off semi-final against Kazakhstan.
Ireland Women’s manager Carla Ward has named a 25-player squad for the upcoming encounter as they group look to secure their spot at a second successive Women’s World Cup.
Milford native Barrett and St Johnston’s Toland have both been selected amongst the squad and they’ll be aiming to make their mark for the side.
Aston Villa’s Anna Patten, who qualifies through her roots in Falcarragh, has also been named in Carla Ward’s squad for the upcoming encounters.
Ireland will meet Kazakhstan in the first leg of their semi-final in Astana on Friday 9 October, with the sides facing off at Pairc Ui Chaoimh in the return leg on Tuesday 13 October.
If they prevail in this contest, Ward’s side will take on the winners of Poland and Belgium in the play-off final for a place at next summer’s Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
