Ireland’s first goal came just at the half time when Deidre Duke fired in a deflection off captain Megan Frazer’s penalty corner drag.

Ireland should have given themselves a bigger lead but a solid looking Scottish defense coped well with the onslaught of Irish attacks to keep the scoreline to 1-0 until they were able to convert a chance of their own thanks to a Nikki Kidd drag flick.

Ireland responded immediately and Aine Connery converted off a pass from Anna O’Flanagan to make it 2-1.

Ireland continued to press but they couldn’t break through.
