Who is Dora Gorman?

Dora Gorman is an Irish international footballer. She plays for Peamount United.

Gorman made her senior international debut in October 2011, in Ireland's 2–0 UEFA Women's Euro 2013 qualifying win over Israel in Dublin. She created Ireland's second goal for Ciara Grant a minute after entering play as an 86th minute substitute. In April 2012 Gorman created history by becoming the first woman to play in the men's UCD "Med Cup", replacing Fiachra O'Rourke in the dying minutes of the final. Her class went on to lose 1–0 to a group of first year graduate students. In the summer of 2012 she suffered a hamstring injury which would keep her out of almost the entirety of the following season. Gorman made her comeback in April 2013 at the women's "Med Cup", where she played the majority of the tournament as a goalkeeper. Her team went on to lift the cup following a penalty shoot-out in the final. She saved two opposing spot-kicks and slotted the winner.

Gorman studies medicine at University College Dublin, having joined Peamount from her first club Salthill Devon in November 2011.
