Summary

edit

Wexford Youths took the lead after three minutes, when Lauren Kelly dribbled through the Peamount defence and shot low past a surprised Niamh Reid Burke. Karen Duggan scored a long-range equaliser for Peamount on 32 minutes, only for Kelly to reinstate Wexford's lead two minutes later.[8][9]

Seven minutes into the second half, Eleanor Ryan-Doyle brought the score back to 2–2 with another long range-goal from outside the penalty area. Wexford captain Kylie Murphy scored what proved to be the winning goal on 64 minutes, when she was assisted by Rianna Jarrett and curled a composed shot past Reid Burke from 12 yards (11m).[10][11]
