John Paul Strappe went on to set up the next goal for Christopher Denieffe, who in turn lobbed the keeper from outside the box. Strappe went on to score the goal of the tournament in the 52nd muinite when he beat the Scottish defender and unleashed an unstoppable shot from 30 yards. Scotland retaliated with a consolation goal when they scored at close range from a corner kick. Republic of Ireland weren't finished yet and in the 91st minute, Strappe lobbed the Scottish keeper to bring his goal tally to two.
Ireland's second match saw them draw nil all with Northern Ireland in what was a hard fought match.

As the score remained nil all in when the Scottish took on Northern Ireland, the Irish side came away Champions for the first time.
