Jodie Loughrey was on target as the Republic of Ireland Under-16 women scored a big win over Lebanon.

The Buncrana woman hit one of the goals in a 4-0 win at a Development Tournament in Malta.

After a win over Turkey on Thursday, Ireland had too much for Lebanon.

Aoife Kelly netted the opener on seven minutes and by the half-hour mark it was 3-0 with Joy Ralph and Lia O’Leary on the mark.

Loughrey came off the bench to bag a fourth goal for the Girls in Green.

Ireland face tournament hosts Malta on Tuesday at 2pm in the Centenary Stadium.

Loughrey, a student at Scoil Mhuire, plays for the Donegal Women’s League in the Under-17 Women’s National League.
