SHELBOURNE WERE 3-0 winners over Bohemians on a curtailed night of action in the Women’s National League.
Only two of the four games slated for tonight went ahead: Treaty United versus Cork City was called off amid a Status Red wind warning wrought by Storm Ellen, while the clash of Peamount and DLR Waves was postponed because of a suspected case of Covid-19 in within DLR Waves.
Those postponements allowed Shels vault to the top of the league in their first meeting with Bohemians, and they took the lead early in the game with a long-range strike by Izzy Atkinson.
