Mucklagh's Ellen Dolan created club history on Wednesday night when scoring Heart of Midlothian's first ever goal in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

The teenage striker equalised proceedings in the club's first qualifying round tie against Lithuanian opponents FC Gintra, before the Scottish Women's Premier Division champions added a second goal to advance to the second qualifying round of the competition.

Dolan joined the Edinburgh club from Dublin club Peamount United in January of this year, becoming a regular feature in the Heart's first team which claimed the league title in May.

The former Republic of Ireland youth international will be hoping to continue her goalscoring impact when Hearts play Danish team HB Koge in the second qualifying round of the competition on Saturday at 2.30pm.
