Sligo Rovers women’s team produced a gutsy performance on Saturday to beat DLR Waves 3-1 at UCD bowl and secure a place in the last four of the Sports Direct Women’s FAI Cup.
It’s the second season in a row that Rovers have reached the last four of women’s soccer’s premier cup competition.
Saturday’s victory was secured thanks to goals from Anna McDaniel, Kelsey Munroe and Paula McGrory.
The draw for the FAI cup semi-finals will be made on Tuesday.
Elsewhere, former Sligo Rovers striker Emma Doherty scored her first league goal for her new club Galway Utd in a 3-1 win against last season’s Premier Division winners Peamount Utd.
