The Republic of Ireland Under 19s squad secured a 6-0 victory over Bulgaria in their second UEFA European Championship qualifier in Slovenia.

The team had previously drawn 1-1 with the hosts Slovenia on Tuesday evening and pushed forward for an important and much-deserved win on Thursday to pick up three points.

Megan Connolly hit the net four times, while captain Savannah McCarthy and Jessica Nolan added one each.
