BENEATH the imposing Gori Fortress, Georgia’s defence was anything but, as Ireland edged closer to history and a World Cup play-off place with another destruction of the Group A minnows.
Katie McCabe’s hat-trick took her tally for the campaign to seven - three more than anyone else in the entire group - while there were two for Louise Quinn and firsts for Niamh Fahey and Abbie Larkin.
Megan Connolly and Denise O’Sullivan also got in on the act, as Ireland returned to second place ahead of September’s final two games at home to Finland and away to Slovakia.
