Match

Summary

The match remained scoreless until half-time. On 46 minutes Stephanie Roche scored to give Peamount the lead, then scored again five minutes later. With 13 minutes of the match remaining, Roche made an assist to Áine O'Gorman who scored Peamount's third. As Cork City's young players tired, Peamount became increasingly dominant. Karen Duggan headed in O'Gorman's corner kick on 81 minutes, before substitutes Rebecca Watkins and Tiegan Ruddy added late goals to make the final score 6–0.[1]
