WNL round-up: Sligo Rovers earn historic victory

Sligo Rovers got their first ever Women's National win in a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Cork City at Turner's Cross.

The game was just passed the hour mark when Gemma McGuinness made history by scoring the first league goal for Sligo, and the lead was doubled by Emma Doherty who made a huge impact in the game.

Nadine Seward got one back for Cork, but it was a famous win for the Bit O'Red, encapsulated by a super performance from Kristen Sample.

Wexford Youths eased to a 3-0 win at Bohemians.

The game will be remembered for yet another super strike by the Republic of Ireland's young sensation Ellen Molloy.

The teenager opened the scoring with a thunderbolt from just inside the attacking half early in the game. Ciara Rossiter doubled the lead by scoring directly from a corner.

Wexford controlled the game and the ever reliable Kylie Murphy tapped in a third midway through the second half.

Peamount United hammered Treaty United 5-1 to go two points clear at the top of the table.

They started things early with goals from Aine O'Gorman [above], Stephanie Roche, and Jetta Berrill. Sadbh Doyle added another late in the first half to effectively seal the win.

Things slowed down in the second period with Treaty finding themselves mostly defending.

A bright spark for the Limerick side was Emma Costello, who got one back for Treaty with a finish into the top corner.

Peamount's quality and experience showed however. Jetta Berrill added a fifth to put a gloss on the scoreline.

Galway played out a 1-1 draw with DLR Waves at Eamonn Deacy Park.

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 and she finished tidily to add a goal to her four assists
