Letterkenny Rovers 2 - 0 Bonagee United

Women's FAI Amateur Shield

Letterkenny Rovers 2 - 0 Bonagee United

Letterkenny Rovers booked their place in the next round of the Women’s FAI Amateur Shield with a composed 2-0 victory over local rivals Bonagee United.

Goals from Erin Doherty and Emily Irwin sealed a deserved win for the home side, who showed their quality in both attack and defence across the 90 minutes.

Doherty opened the scoring in the first half with a smart finish after a slick passing move, giving Rovers an early edge in what had been a tightly contested opening spell. Bonagee tried to respond, pushing forward with some dangerous spells of possession, but found the Rovers back line difficult to break down. 

Just before halftime, Letterkenny Rovers struck again. Emily Irwin’s diagonal ball picked out the run of Roisin Lynch across the face of goal, but the delivery deceived everyone, including the Bonagee keeper and drifted straight into the top corner to double the lead in spectacular fashion.

Bonagee battled gamely throughout, but Letterkenny Rovers organisation and clinical edge were the difference on the day. It was a strong team performance from Letterkenny, who now advance with momentum on their side.
