Match Report
DLR Waves scored seven quality goals to end their home league campaign on a high against Treaty United at the UCD Bowl. In what was an excellent performance from the Waves they showed the full quality and potential of their attacking side with a brace of goals from Kate Mooney along with goals from Shauna Carroll, Katie Malone, Carla McManus, Keri Letmon and a stunning individual effort from Nicole Keogh meaning Graham Kelly has plenty of positives to take into the final game of the season. DLR took the lead with a well-placed corner by Sarah McKevitt from the right which was headed powerfully goalward by Kate Mooney that beat Michaela Mitchell at her back post. They were to add a second when Nicole Keogh latched onto a loose Treaty pass and took an attempt from distance, the ball looped over Mitchell's outstretched hand and into the roof of the net. The continued pressure from the Waves was rewarded with one of the best goals scored by the home side this season. While the second goal was that of individual excellence the third was a well-worked team goal. Sophie Watters played a clever ball to McKevitt and in turn, her cross into the Treaty area met the path of the onrushing Katie Malone at the near post. The Blues striker played a clever back heel that beat Mitchell and crept past her to add a well-taken third goal. The Waves were to get the second half off to the perfect start as Katie Malone broke down the right from a pass from McKevitt and her cross found Katie Mooney unmarked in the area she took her time to curl the ball past Mitchell to add a fourth goal. DLR added a fifth as Kerri Letmon a second-half change did well to keep the ball in play and then to cross into the area, the initial attempt from Carla McManus from that cross was blocked down and Shauna Caroll was on hand to steer the ball home. DLR was to add two late goals with Carla McManus adding her name to the score sheet as she tapped in a rebound following an initial save from Mitchell. The scoring was not finished as they were to add a seventh with Keri Letmon scoring as a free kick cannoned off the butt of the post with the DLR attacker on hand to steer the secondary ball past Mitchell. There was also a senior debut for Ava Gibson Doyle as the talented youth player came on as a late change for the home side. There was some concern for Graham Kelly going into the last game of the season as Nicole Keogh did go off midway through the second half with an injury.Waves hit Treaty for seven in final home performance

FULL TIME: DLR Waves scored seven quality goals to end their home league campaign on a high against Treaty United at the UCD Bowl. In what was an excellent performance from the Waves they showed the full quality and potential of their attacking side with a brace of goals from Kate Mooney along with goals from Shauna Carroll, Katie Malone, Carla McManus, Keri Letmon and a stunning individual effort from Nicole Keogh meaning Graham Kelly has plenty of positives to take into the final game of the season.
SEVEN! Keri Letmon adds a seventh as a free kick cannon off the butt of the post and Letmon is on hand to steer the secondary ball past Mitchell.
Carla McManus has the easiest of goals to score as she taps in a rebound following a save from Mitchell.
Seven added minutes here at the UCD Bowl.
SUB: Naoise Griffin replaced Keisa Tobin for Treaty United.
CHANCE: Letmon sent a strong ball into the area and Sophie Watters made a last-second run into the area but her effort goes high over the bar.
Carla McManus has an effort on goal but her shot goes well wide of the Treaty post.
SUB: Double change for DLR as Ava Gibson Doyle makes her debut for the Waves replacing Abbi Brophy. Shauna Carroll also comes off making way for Catherine Croinin.
Niamh O’Byrne replaced Grace McInerney in Treaty's second change of the game.
GOAL: Letmon does well to keep the ball in and the initial attempt in the area from Carla McManus was blocked down and Shauna Caroll was on hand to steer the ball home.
Sophie Watters has a shot on goal but her effort is blocked down and Mitchell easily gathers.
SUB: A double change for DLR as Lynn Craven and Sarah McKevitt come off for Carla McManus and Kerri Letmon.
DLR continue to press for a fifth as it looked as if Mooney stole the ball off Mitchell but she handled the ball into the challenge.
Nicole Keogh is being replaced by Jane McKevitt.
It looks as if Nicole Keogh will have to go off as a change is being readied on the DLR bench, Graham Kelly using this time to speak to his players as the physios tend to Keogh.
There is a break in play as Nicole Keogh goes down injured and by the looks of her team mates there is a concern for the DLR player.
Another excellent break down the right from McKevitt sees her cross just go over the head of the waiting Mooney.
GOAL: Katie Malone broke down the right from a pass from McKevitt and the ball finds Katie Mooney unmarked in the area and she took her time to curl the ball past Mitchell to add a fourth goal for the Waves.
SECOND HALF: We are back underway at the UCD Bowl as Treaty restarts the game.
HALF TIME: A strong performance from DLR Waves who have a commanding 3-0 lead here at the UCD Bowl. The pick of the goals has to be the second for the Waves with Nicole Keogh's long-range effort.
Two added minutes here at the UCD Bowl.
SAVE: Mitchell does excellently to push away Sarah McKevitt's free kick from the edge of the area, the follow-up corner from DLR sees Donnelly's header go wide at the back post.
SUB: A chance just before the break as Laoise Browne replaces Emma Deegan in the Treaty defence.
From an initial corner from McKevitt, the ball comes back to her but her high curling effort hits the roof of the net.
CHANCE: Another opportunity for Shauna Carroll goes begging and her effort from the left beats Mitchell but not the far post as it goes wide.
CHANCE: A rare sight on goal for Treaty as both Cara Griffin and Keisha Tobin have shots on target but neither beat Badana.
GOAL: Now that was a goal of class, Sophie Watters plays an excellent ball out to McKevitt and her cross into the area is met by Katie Malone at the near post - her clever back heel beats Mitchell and creeps past her to add a third goal for the home side.
GOAL: Nicole Keogh latches onto a loose pass and strikes one from distance and it loops over Michaela Mitchell's outstretched hand and into the roof of the net. It had been coming but that was an excellent goal from the Waves and from the defender.
CHANCE: Shauna Carroll breaks free of the Treaty defence after a clever through ball from Katie Malone, her shot looks like it was going to nestle into the bottom right-hand corner only for it to whistle past the post at the last second. So close to a second goal for DLR Waves.
CHANCE: Kate Malone with the cleverest of deft touches towards goal as she latches onto a Sophie Watters cross but the effort can't beat the goalkeeper. DLR is well in control here.
CHANCE: Kate Mooney with another excellent header that is well saved and Shauna Carroll fails to covert the follow-up.
Another excellent cross from McKevitt is met at the back post by Carroll but she couldn't direct her shot goalwards. DLR continue to press forward at every opportunity.
GOAL: DLR take the lead as a corner sent in by Sarah McKevitt from the right is headed powerfully towards the goal by Kate Mooney, the perfect start for the home side.
CHANCE: DLR Waves have two bites of the cherry as both Kate Mooney and Shauna Carroll have clear sights on goal but neither could get it past the Treaty United goalkeeper.
A large number of people are here today as DLR invited youth players from ladies' teams around the area to come and watch the last home game of the season.
KICK OFF: We are underway at UCD Bowl as DLR kick us off.
