Things were more straightforward for Glentoran as Carragh Hamilton's hat-trick helped them run out 5-0 winners over Peamount United.

Joely Andrews headed the visitors in front before Hamilton's 16-minute treble and Emily Wilson completed the rout.

Sion Swifts also hit the goal trail as they recorded a 4-1 win over Sligo Rovers.

A deflected effort off Kate Nugent gave Sion before Sarah Kiernan levelled matters.

Second-half goals from Kerry Brown, Caoirse Doherty and Tara O'Connor-Farren made sure of the win for the home side.

Keri Halliday's strike gave Linfield an early lead against Shelbourne who levelled things up late on through Megan Smyth-Lynch's free kick.

Crusaders went down 3-1 to DRL Waves at the UCD Bowl.

Mairead McCann reduced the deficit for the Crues after Michelle Doonan had scored in either half, but the hosts added a late third to secure the win.
