Two league fixtures remain for United, starting with the trip to Ferrycarrig Park to face Wexford on Friday evening. 

The Tribesmen were dealt a blow last time out when they were defeated 2-1 by Athlone on Friday night. That result sees John Caulfield's side sit in third place on the First Division table. 

Stephen Walsh did, however, add to his ever-growing goal tally by scoring his 18th of the season.

This week's opposition, Wexford FC, are in sixth position on the table - drawing with Cork City in their most recent outing.

History was made last night at Hampden Park when the Republic of Ireland beat Scotland 1-0 to qualify directly for the 2023 Fifa Womens World Cup that will take place in Australia and New Zealand.

Amber Barrett's goal was the difference between the sides with Ireland having to defend under severe pressure in the final minutes. 

One of the stars of the Ireland win was Killannin's Niamh Fahey who produced the performance of a lifetime in helping Ireland to qualify for a World Cup for the first time in their history.

Niamh spoke to John Mulligan:
