Women's National League round-up: Treaty United Shels-shocked in 10-0 rout

The SSE Airtricity Women's National League returned from the mid-season break on Saturday, with leaders Shelbourne picking up where they left off by collecting three more points in a 10-0 annihilation of Treaty United.

Three injuries wrecked any hopes Treaty United might have had of causing an upset against the league leaders.

Alannah Mitchell didn't even make the kick-off while Shannon Parbat and Esra Kangal, who required extensive treatment, were subbed out of the Treaty line-up in the opening half hour.

Shelbourne had opened the scoring in the fourth minute when Jemma Quinn fired past Trish Fennelly-Hunt, and full-back Leah Doyle blasted in a second five minutes later.

Two from Noelle Murray, either side of an own goal, and a free header by Pearl Slattery in added time made it 6-0 at the turnaround.

Shels rang the changes and made three substitutions at half-time and, inevitably, there was less intensity in the second period.

The Reds continued to dominate, however, and Quinn completed her hat-trick with goals on 59 and 66 minutes.

Murray also completed her hat-trick and then added her fourth in the later stages of the game, completing a miserable afternoon for the Limerick side, who ultimately went down by double figures.

Athlone Town and Cork City played out a 0-0 draw in a game that won't live long in the memory.

Just when it looked like they were about to lose at home and slip back in the title race, Wexford Youths showed their typical fighting spirit to earn a 1-1 draw against Galway WFC thanks to a late goal from Nicola Sinnott.

The veteran defender smashed in a half volley when Ciara Rossiter's corner kick was not cleared by the Galway defence, who will be disappointed that they couldn't hang on to take all three
