Women’s National League
In today's SSE Airtricity Women's National League action, Shelbourne beat champions Peamount 4-3 to go three points clear at the top of the table this afternoon.
Saoirse Noonan got things started with an early header to give the Reds control, and doubled the lead soon after with a strike from distance. Peamount pulled one back through a converted Eleanor Ryan-Doyle penalty, before Emily Whelan put Shels back in the groove with a goal.
Áine O'Gorman and Ryan-Doyle both scored to level matters as the tension was cranked up, but Noelle Murray had the final say with a cool finish in added time.
