SIX GOALS IN a simply stunning second-half performance, Peamount United showed exactly why they are the top side in Irish women’s football in this afternoon’s FAI Cup final.
The silverware, hoisted jubilantly by captain Áine O’Gorman, came as an early Christmas present for James O’Callaghan’s all-conquering and ruthless Dubliners, who in turn, completed the league and cup double for 2020.

The well-travelled Ireland international was the star turn in her side’s 6-0 FAI Cup final victory over Cork City at Tallaght Stadium this afternoon.
Peamount 6
Peamount United ended two years of Women s FAI Cup final pain as they thrashed Cork City 6-0
in the Tallaght Stadium decider to seal the league and cup double.
Peamount came into the game hoping to go third time lucky in three years in the decider, having lost the last two finals to Wexford Youths, and having not won the trophy since 2010, while Cork City were hoping to add a second victory after their 2017 triumph.
A scoreless and somewhat stale first half had seen the league champions enjoy the better of the play, without looking like making a breakthrough.
