Ireland's Sarah Rowe and Aishling Sheridan combined brilliantly to help Collingwood on their way to a second win of the AFLW season.
Absent through injury as Collingwood overcame Carlton in Week One, Mayo's Rowe returned to action today with a goal-scoring performance as her team overcame Geelong in Week Two.
The scorer of two goals in that opening game last weekend, Cavan's Aishling Sheridan made it an exclusively Irish moment to remember as she assisted Rowe for the goal in a 45-16 win.

In a good weekend for the Irish overall, Dublin's Sinead Goldrick had cause to be happy as the Melbourne Demons went two-from-two with a 44-16 defeat of Richmond.
With the Irish Down Under making an immediate impact this season, there is more involvement to keep an eye out for this weekend.
Mayo's Aileen Gilroy, who joined us on OTB AM earlier this week, will be in action as North Melbourne host St. Kilda on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Orla O'Dwyer's Brisbane Lions are taking on the Gold Coast Suns, while Cora Staunton's Greater Western Sydney face up to Ailish Considine's Adelaide Crows.
The Kelly sisters of Mayo Grace and Niamh will be in action alongside Aisling McCarthy of Tipperary when West Coast Eagles take on Fremantle.
