Match Report
Murphy magic as Wexford secure final berth
Both captains netted in a thrilling encounter between Wexford Youths and Peamount United this afternoon, some Kylie Murphy magic manoeuvring the away side into the Evoke.ie FAI Cup final after extra time.
Substitute Lynn Marie Grant supplementing the skipper’s brace, they eclipsed the WNL leaders 3-1 and will now face Shelbourne to decide the ultimate winners on November 21st.
Always anticipated to be a tight affair, the stalemate was only broken 10 minutes before the interval. Youths having caused havoc in the box located Murphy who stitched the ball into the back of the net at the end of a Ciara Rossiter corner.
Throughout the rest of the game Dearbhaile Beirne proved a massive asset to the Girls In Green nipping a lot of Wexford’s exploits in the bud, while Della Doherty excelled against her former club and Teegan Lynch created chaos in midfield.
80 minutes in tensions rose beyond doubt with all of Peas’s effort exploited in going forward. While Lauren Kelly, Alannah McEvoy and Stephanie Roche all came close, they were all to no avail.
Just when it looked as if they were home and hosed Aine O’Gorman put away the equaliser in the 1 minute after regulation time to prolong the game.
Two 10 minute halves were to follow and the action only intensified from there.
Wexford then came back with vigor, Murphy scoring her second in the 91st with
Grant capping things off in the 98th.
Nicola Sinnott’s yellow card for an impeachment on McEvoy who was clean through may be disputed after the proceedings, but it was time that was United’s biggest enemy in the second half.
Ellen Molloy could have added insult to injury in the closing seconds when Niamh Ried Burke came off her line to suffocate another avenue attack, but the ball veered just inches wide.
Seeing as Galway were handed a narrow defeat by The Reds earlier in the day, it’s to be a different cup winner than league victor this year which will be decided by second and third place runners of the WNL.

A repeat of 2019 and 2018’s ultimate finals, Youths came out on top on both occasions but the last time the pair met in the league it was a different story. There a 2-2 draw was witnessed in August, tipping a hat to just how close the tie today is expected to be.
Peamount having had six different goalscorers in their last outing will aspire to just prolong their class, Sadhbh Doyle, Aine O’Gorman, Stephanie Roche, Alannah McEvoy, Becky Watkins and Lauren Kealy all bidding to add consecutive score card tallies to their records.
They’ll be hoping for big appearances from the WNL’s joint second top scorer Ellen Molloy, as well as other contributors like captain Kylie Murphy and the perilous threats of Ciara Rossiter and Aoibheann Clancy.
The Youths having fallen short on the title race front however will have invested heavily into the concept of a cup run and will be gunning to shock the league leaders into exit today.
To get to this point in the cup United took on the very opposition they faced in that series, Treaty falling short 2-0 in Jackman Park, as Wexford ran out 3-1 victors over Athlone Town at the start of September.
Antithesis in terms of their most recent results in the Women’s National League, The Peas racked up the highest score in this year’s season putting 10 past Treaty United. The Youths on the other hand fell victim to a determined Galway side, ending their previous long term unbeaten streak.
The Girls in Green the current holders, a win would set them on their way to their third title in their history, while if their opposition make it to the final and triumph they will have four such trophies to their name.
Old foes come to a head this afternoon in the Women’s FAI Cup semi-finals as Peamount United host Wexford Youths at PRL Park (4pm). My name is Alanna Cunnane and I'll be bringing you today's match commentary.
