PEAMOUNT UNITED UNDERLINED their strength with a 1-6 win over Shelbourne that leaves them in pole position ahead of the final round of the first phase of WNL fixtures.
Peamount went in to this weekend trailing Shels in the table by a point but a brace apiece from Ellie Ryan-Doyle and Steph Roche, bookended by Lucy McCartan and Aine O’Gorman brought about a commanding win that sees them take hold of top spot before phase two of the tournament splits teams to two groups.
McCartan and Ryan-Doyle’s strikes gave Peamount a two-goal advantage by half-time. And the floodgates opened before Jessica Gargan grabbed a consolation for Shels.

In today’s later kick-offs, Cork City won out 1-2 away to Wexford Youths.
Saoirse Noonan opened the scoring with a cross that found it’s way beyond ‘keeper Kiev Gray.
Kylie Murphy levelled for Youths, but parity lasted mere minutes as City re-took the lead through Eabha O’Mahony’s left-footed screamer on 25 minutes.
City led 1-2 through half-time and though O’Mahony had another sighter from distance in the second half, her howitzer remained the difference between the sides.
On the west coast, Galway WFC forced a 1-0 victory over Treaty United.
The Tribeswomen’s high tempo work off the ball kept Treaty from getting a foothold and midfielder Chloe Singleton gave them the lead shortly before half-time.
That proved the only goal of the game as Galway kept a clean sheet to seal the win.
Finally, in the late game, DLR Waves were 4-1 winners away to Athlone Town.
