Shamrock Rovers hammer Cork City, Galway eke out Treaty win

Shelbourne, meanwhile, were 1-0 winners over Athlone.

SHAMROCK ROVERS PUT five goals past Cork City in the League of Ireland Women’s Premier Division at Tallaght Stadium this afternoon. 

All of the goals in a 5-0 win came in the second-half, with Jaime Thompson breaking the deadlock three minutes after the break. Lia O’Leary added a second midway through thee half, while the final minutes brought a glossing salvo: Abbie Larkin, Jessica Hennessy and O’Leary added another goal each in the final five minutes. 

The result puts Rovers third, a point off Galway and Peamount. Galway kept pace at the top thanks to a narrow 1-0 win over Treaty, albeit they have played a game more than both Peamount and Rovers. 

Elsewhere, Shelbourne needed a late Christie Gray goal to win 1-0 away to Athlone Town. 

Meanwhile, Bohemians edged Sligo Rovers 1-0 at Dalymount Park, while Wexford won 2-0 away to DLR Waves.
