Peamount went in to this weekend trailing Shels in the table by a point but a brace apiece from Ellie Ryan-Doyle and Steph Roche, bookended by Lucy McCartan and Aine O’Gorman brought about a commanding win that sees them take hold of top spot before phase two of the tournament splits teams to two groups.
McCartan and Ryan-Doyle’s strikes gave Peamount a two-goal advantage by half-time. And the floodgates opened before Jessica Gargan grabbed a consolation for Shels.
In today’s later kick-offs, Cork City won out 1-2 away to Wexford Youths.
Saoirse Noonan opened the scoring with a cross that found it’s way beyond ‘keeper Kiev Gray.
Kylie Murphy levelled for Youths, but parity lasted mere minutes as City re-took the lead through Eabha O’Mahony’s left-footed screamer on 25 minutes.

City led 1-2 through half-time and though O’Mahony had another sighter from distance in the second half, her howitzer remained the difference between the sides.
On the west coast, Galway WFC forced a 1-0 victory over Treaty United.
The Tribeswomen’s high tempo work off the ball kept Treaty from getting a foothold and midfielder Chloe Singleton gave them the lead shortly before half-time.
That proved the only goal of the game as Galway kept a clean sheet to seal the win.
Finally, in the late game, DLR Waves were 4-1 winners away to Athlone Town.
