Bohemians 0-3 Wexford Youths

Wexford controlled the game and the ever reliable Kylie Murphy tapped in a third midway through the second half.
Peamount United 5-1 Treaty United
Another prolific evening from Pamount who end the week two points clear at the top of the table. They started things early with goals from Aine O’Gorman, Stephanie Roche, and Jetta Berrill. Sadbh Doyle added another late in the half to seal the win. Things slowed down in the second half with Treaty finding themselves mostly defending.

Galway WFC 1-1 DLR Waves
It was a largely even game at Eamonn Deacy Park with a draw ultimately a fair result. DLR Waves had the better chances in the first half and would take the lead coming up to the break. Avril Brierley found Sarah McKevitt in the box who finished tidily to add a goal to her 4 assists so far this season.
The game was unfortunately interrupted as Savannah McCarthy had to be stretchered off. Galway would find an equalizer in injury time in the first half. A lovely bit of skill from Aoibheann Costelloe led to Lynsey McKey sending a cross into the Waves box where Aoife Thompson headed home.
The second half was back and forth with both sides having chances. Galway came close to snatching a winner in the 84th minute with a goal mouth scramble, but to no avail.
Athlone Town 0-2 Shelbourne
Shelbourne's know-how showed as they battled past a resilient Athlone Town. The Reds found a way through on the 28th minute with some direct attacking play which ended with Jess Ziu - in the first game since news of her move to West Ham came through - squaring the ball to Noelle Murray who tapped in.
Athlone held out well in the second half and had a few chances on the counter-attack, but it was Shelbourne who spent most of the game on top. Keeva Keenan scored late on to seal the win.
