Women's National League: Shelbourne stay on summit as top four all win

Bohemians 2-5 Wexford Youths Lying just two points behind league leaders Shelbourne, Wexford came into this game knowing they are in a genuine title race and it took just 19 minutes for them to open their account at Dalymount Park. Ellen Molloy was played into the inside-left channel and slid the ball past Rachael Kelly with impressive calm. Wexford led by that single goal at the break with no hint of the frantic second half that was to follow. Kylie Murphy clattered a shot off the Bohs crossbar five minutes after the restart but it was Bohemians who scored next, Kira Bates-Crosbie heading home an equaliser 66 minutes in. But the home side's hopes were short lived and four minutes later Murphy swept Wexford back in to the lead after Molloy had created the opening. Three minutes after that Nicola Sinnott turned in a corner to make it 3-1. Lisa Murphy headed Bohs back into contention on 78 minutes but within two minutes Meabh Russell had made it 4-2 and in added time the visitors added a fifth through substitute Aine Walsh.
