RT Sport: Ireland Deaf team secure Euro qualification
The Ireland Deaf Men's Football team has secured qualification for the 2011 European Deaf Football Championships in Denmark next summer thanks to a 3-0 second leg victory over Slovakia.
The Saturday evening result meant an emphatic 9-1 aggregate win.
Ireland put in a professional and assured performance by the Irish lads in what was a physical encounter played on a difficult playing surface.
A fired-up Slovakia team were stunned as early as the 2nd minute when Ireland produced a flowing move down the left flank ending with Mark Sinclair's superb cross being headed into the far top corner by Andrew Wynne to open the scoring.
In a game that Ireland dominated for long periods, their advantage was extended in the 66th minute with a great finish from a Jonathan Cosgrove cross and Watson competed the 3-0 scoreline 12 mins later with another sublime finish, this time after a great through ball from Colm Keogh.
