Abbie Larkin, an Irishtown native, was hoped to earn some playing time by the audience.
Today's event was arranged in large part by her uncle Micheal Larkin, who also staged balcony bingo during the Covid-19 epidemic.
The stadium's predictions for the match's outcome range from a tie to Ireland winning 11-0!
Mr. Larking noted earlier today that there was a lot of enthusiasm in the region while speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland.
“Abbie is after putting in a hell of a lot of work. It’s amazing. It’s absolutely buzzing around Ringsend and Irishtown.”
At the conclusion of the first half, rain in Irishtown subdued the crowd, but it did not damper the spirit.
Many others grabbed blankets and umbrellas and stayed huddled in front of the large screens while others scurried for cover.
When Australian Captain Steph Catley scored it 1-0 in the 52nd minute, the crowd went quiet temporarily until Abbie, the youngest player on Vera Pauw's team and the pride of Irishtown, came on in the 63rd minute.
