Raphoe Town 1 - 7 Letterkenny Rovers

Raphoe Town got off to the perfect start when Sarah Doherty found the net just four minutes in, giving the home side an early lead. However, Letterkenny Rovers quickly regrouped and equalised through Mollie Page.

A well-delivered corner from Nadine Crawford soon followed, with Erin Doherty rising highest to head home and put Rovers in front. First-half goals from Roisin Lynch and Rebecca McGinley extended the visitors’ lead before the break.

In the second half, Roisin Lynch continued her impressive form, completing a hat-trick with two more well-taken goals. Sarah Robinson also got on the scoresheet as Rovers demonstrated excellent team play, particularly with Sarah’s goal, which featured a flowing move involving at least seven players.

To their credit, Raphoe continued to press forward, with Venessa McHugh remaining a constant threat and Lauren O'Donnell putting in a tireless performance. Despite the scoreline, Raphoe showed great determination throughout.
