Lagan Harps striker Amber Barrett was the toast of Milford last night after scoring a late goal to help Ireland U19’s secure a deserved draw against Portugal. 
Barrett showed great composure to finish after forcing the mistake from the Portugese keeper after she chased down an under hit back-pass to the keeper.
Ireland got exactly what they deserved after dominating the game for long spells.
They fell behind just before half-time following a mix-up in the Irish defence.
Ireland initially struggled with conditions early on as the heat was over 30 degrees despite the 8pm kick-off but adapted to the conditions as the game went on.
They will play Portugal again on Thursday.
