Shelbourne 1-0 Galway United

A wonder goal settled this tight contest at Tolka Park that could have either way, but Shelbourne held on to an early strike from Noelle Murray.

The individual quality of Murray is something to truly marvel at and she showed just why as he lobbed the ball over two defenders before blasting in.

It was pure magic. Julie-Ann Russell was sent off for Galway for two yellow cards collected in the second half and that was a big blow, but they remained in it until the end.
