SHELBOURNE AND WEXFORD Youths continued their impressive starts in the Women’s National League today with respective victories.
Youths beat Galway 2-1 at IT Carlow.
Aoife Thompson gave her side the lead on 19 minutes, before Katrina Parrock slotted home the equaliser from close range just before half-time.
Galway’s task was made more difficult, after Rachel Baynes received a second yellow card for a late tackle and Wexford made their player advantage count after the break.

On 65 minutes, Parrock was the creator, as her inch-perfect cross found Rianna Jarrett, and the Ireland international made no mistake with her finish for a fifth goal in three matches that was ultimately enough to get her side over the line.
