Women's Division One: Week Four results

Loreto 8 (Cathy McKean 3, Nikki Keegan, Catriona Tipping, Nikki Symmons, Claire O'Meara, Lizzie Colvin) Corinthian 0

Loreto eased to victory against Corinthian, who struggled majorly in the second half without the influential Sarah Walker. The sides looked reasonably even in the first half in terms of chances but the hosts sharper touches in either circle left them 3-0 up by the break. Cathy McKean got a cracker from Sinead McGirr's pass.

The second half, though, was one-way traffic. Five goals spread - the pick of which was a peach finished off by Nikki Symmons, guiding the ball in after stunning interplay between Catriona Tipping and Niamh Small - gave the score an emphatic edge.

Pembroke 3 (Shona Doyle, Aoife O'Gorman, Louisa Moore) Hermes 3 (Linda Caulfield, Nicola Evans, Aoife Harte)
In a cracker of a game, both sides may well come away disappointed having both held the lead. The real winners, though, are Railway as they see two title contenders drop a pair of points each.
Shona Doyle and Aoife O'Gorman had the hosts in front before Linda Caulfield pulled one back before half-time. Nikki Evans and Aoife Harte got Hermes into the lead for the first time before Louisa Moore tied up the game with eight minutes to go. Railway stay clear of both sides on top and now have a game in hand over their rivals ahead of the Sandymount derby next Saturday.
