DEFENDING CHAMPIONS ATHLONE Town continued their unbeaten run with a commanding 3-0 win over Peamount United.
Two goals from Kelly Brady, and a penalty from Roisín Molloy ensured that Athlone remain the only unbeaten team in the Women’s Premier Division as they continue to hold pole position ahead of Shelbourne.
Brady got Athlone off the mark just before half-time and doubled their advantage on 52 minutes. Molloy then completed the victory with a goal from the penalty spot with 13 minutes to go.
Kate Mooney was Shelbourne’s hat-trick hero as they kept the pressure on with a 3-1 win away to Sligo Rovers.
Mooney sent Shels on their way with a 20th minute penalty, and doubled their lead from play six minutes later. Just after the half-hour mark, Sligo pulled one back through Anna McDaniel.
