The third Women's All-Island Cup final will see a new named etched on the trophy as Wexford and Bohemians will cross paths at Ferrycarrig Park on Sunday.

Galway United's domination of the competition since it came into being two years ago will come to an end, and it's Wexford who will enjoy home advantage after winning the toss.

Bohemians will feature in their first-ever final since establishing their senior women’s team in 2020.

Wexford will be buoyed by the fact that they saw off Galway in the semi-final, an Ellen Molloy goal sending them through at the holders' expense.

Goalkeeper Maria O’Sullivan recorded four clean sheets on their way to the final as Wexford beat Lisburn Rangers, Shamrock Rovers and DLR Waves in Group B before edging past Peamount United in the quarter-finals and the Tribeswomen in the last four.

For Bohemians, goalkeeper Rachael Kelly and defender Lisa Murphy have featured in all 11 games that the club has played in this competition.

Murphy is their top goalscorer following an early goal against Linfield and a brace against Glentoran, while she also converted the all-important penalty in the semi-final shoot-out victory over Shelbourne.

Alban Hysa’s team drew with both Sligo Rovers and Shelbourne in Group A before beating Linfield and then overcoming Glentoran in the last eight.
