Women's Premier Division wrap: Galway edge Treaty, Rovers' five-star display

Galway United kept moved level with Peamount United at the top of the table, but they didn't have it all their own way in their 1-0 win over Treaty United at Eamonn Deacy Park.

Most of the big chances fell to Galway early on, but they found Treaty goalkeeper Annie Ulliac in good form as she repelled their early pressure.

She was beaten half an hour in as Eve Dossen rose highest to nod home a Lynsey McKey corner to give the hosts a one-goal lead at the interval.

Phil Trill’s side continued to dominate the second period, but Ulliac kept them out, while Aoife Thompson’s header also was ruled not to have crossed the line despite strong protests from the hosts.

In the end, Dossen’s goal was enough as Galway made it three wins in a row.

Shamrock Rovers are just a point off Peamount and Galway after crushing Cork City 5-0 following a second-half onslaught in Tallaght.

Rovers carried a real threat after the turnaround though with Jaime Thompson opening the scoring three minutes after the break as her low free-kick snuck into the net.

Lia O’Leary grabbed a deserved goal in the 68th minute as she sprinted clear and side-footed home.

Jessica Hennessy got in on the scoring act 10 minutes from time as she flicked home Thompson’s corner and Abbie Larkin added a fourth in the 88th minute. There was still time for Lauren Kelly to head home late on to secure an emphatic win.
