PEAMOUNT UNITED RETAINED their commanding nine-point lead at the top of the League of Ireland Women’s Premier Division with a 2-1 win at home to Treaty United.

Shamrock Rovers have leapfrogged Shelbourne into second spot thanks to a 3-1 win over Shels. Scarlett Herron opened the scoring before Aine O’Gorman’s screamer doubled the advantage.

Kylie Murphy’s goal a minute from the end earned Wexford a draw in a thrilling 2-2 against Bohemians, who recovered from Ellen Molloy’s early goal but could not hold out for a win.
That was not the most painful equaliser of the day: that was felt by Sligo Rovers, who blew a 3-0 half-time lead at home to Cork City to tie 3-3.
Elsewhere, Athlone Town beat DLR Waves 1-0.
