Brady’s Brilliance, Treaty Turmoil & Title Talk
Description
This week, Breifne and Aaron break down a decisive weekend in the SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division as the title race turns sharply in Athlone’s favour, Treaty United fall apart, and the FAI Cup finalists sharpen their blades.
⚽ Match Highlights & Talking Points
🔵 Athlone Town 2–1 Shelbourne
A huge result in the title race!
Kelly Brady’s composed finish on the hour mark puts the Midlanders within touching distance of back-to-back titles. Shelbourne’s challenge falls short despite an early breakthrough from Kate Mooney.
🔴 Treaty United 0–6 Peamount United
The wheels have truly come off in Limerick.
A ruthless Peamount punished a flat Treaty side in front of visiting Canadian investors. The result spelled the end for manager Sean Russell, who departs the club after a once-promising season.
Peamount scorers: Sadhbh Doyle (2), Sorcha Melia (2), Ellen Dolan, Ruby Gallagher.
🟢 Waterford FC 1–8 Shamrock Rovers
A scoring spree for the Hoops!
Mia Dodd, Aine O’Gorman, and Emily Corbet each netted twice, with Katie O’Reilly and Jaime Thompson also on target. Even a missed penalty from Ella Kelly didn’t slow the momentum.
Izzy Walsh had opened the scoring for Waterford early on in a brief moment of hope.
⚫ Bohemians 3–2 Sligo Rovers
Entertaining chaos at Dalymount!
Katie Malone’s brace and a late Alannah McEvoy penalty sealed it for the home side.
Bohs look sharp ahead of their FAI Cup Final, while Sligo pushed them all the way.
🟣 Wexford FC 1–0 Galway United
Captain Kylie Murphy to the rescue.
A stoppage-time winner in Ferrycarrig gave Wexford the points and ruled both sides out of the second-place chase.
