PEAMOUNT UNITED AND Athlone Town were big winners in today’s WNL Premier Division action.

League leaders Peamount maintained their flawless record to the start of the season, winning 4-0 away to Sligo Rovers. It was scoreless at the break but Peamount bagged four second-half goals courtesy of Carla McManus (54), Becky Watkins (56), Kate Mooney (77) and Avril Brierley (88).

Athlone Town enjoyed a resounding success against bottom of the table, storming to an 8-0 victory. Scarlett Herron got the ball rolling for the winners after just two minutes, Chloe Singleton and Maddison Gibson, from a penalty, putting them ahead by three at the break.

The goals continued to flow in the second half as Gibson completed her hat-trick, Muireann Devaney, Eve Conheady and Antea Guvo also on target.

Áine O’Gorman gave Shamrock Rovers the lead against Shelbourne with a strike in the 57th minute, but Jessie Stapleton’s goal in the 69th minute brought Shelbourne level as the game finished all square.

Sarah Rowe was the match-winner for Bohemians, notching the only goal of the game in the 40th minute as they saw off Galway United.

DLR Waves saw off Cork City with a 3-0 success, Joy Ralph and Katie Malone setting them on their way with early goals, before Neema Nyangasi grabbed a third in the 77th minute for the winners.

In the LOI First Division, Waterford FC drew 2-2 with Bray Wanderers. Two Ronan Coughlan goals in the first half put Waterford in the driving seat but they were reduced to 10 men when Chris Conn-Clarke was sent-off and Ben Feeney pulled one back in first-half injury-time for Bray. Max Murphy’s 75th minute goal proved the equaliser for the Seagulls.

Finn Harps grabbed their first win of the season, defeating Longford Town 1-0 away from home, thanks to an 82nd minute penalty converted by Ryan Rainey.
