Heartbreaking for Kilkenny who came within minutes of a win at Jackson Park but Jetta Berrill rescued a point for the home side 😮

Supersub Jetta Beril netted a half-volley with just two minutes of normal time remaining to rescue a point for Waves against Kilkenny.
It was Beril’s first goal for the Dun Laoghaire side since signing last month. Goalkeeper Sophie Lenehan and 17-year-old Nicole Keogh also made their debuts for the hosts.
A collision between Lenehan and Róisín McGovern resulted in an easy tap-in for Kilkenny’s Emma Campbell to open the scoring on 33 minutes, but the visitors’ hearts were broken by Beril late on.

Shels saw a three-goal lead pegged back to the slenderest of margins but eventually saw off a spirited Limerick at Tolka Park.
A brace from Alannah McEvoy put Shels in the driving seat after Noelle Murray’s early opener, but two goals of her own from youngster Cara Griffin for the Shannonsiders put Limerick on the brink of a remarkable comeback.
Griffin’s first was a wonderful solo effort in which she waltzed past two defenders and slotted past Kate Mooney in the Shels net. Griffin has netted five goals in her last three games between Senior and U17s WNL appearances.
Isibeal Atkinson, however, made sure of the result for the hosts, for whom Jenny McDade came on to make her debut in the second half.
