Michelle Carey got their first when she deflected home Roisin Upton’s drag from a penalty corner and two minutes later, in a near replica of that goal, Naomi Carroll turned home Hannah McLoughlin’s sweep from another corner.
Katie McKee then got her first senior international goal when she rounded off a speedy counter-attack before Upton had a penalty stroke saved. Ireland doubled that scoreline in the third quarter, Niamh Carey intercepting a loose Turkish pass at the back to make it 4-0 before Deirdre Duke slotted home Sarah Hawkshaw’s reverse cross from the left and Upton fired home a penalty corner.
Hawkshaw rounded off the scoring in the final quarter, becoming the seventh Irish player to get their name on the score-sheet. Job done, comprehensively, Ireland will once again mix it with Europe’s elite next summer, that tournament doubling as the start of the effort to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games.E Murphy, S McAuley, M Carey, R Upton, S Hawkshaw, K Mullan , L Tice, N Carroll, C Perdue, D Duke, E Curran.
