Avenir Sports All-Island Cup wrap: Holders Galway United among semi-finalists
Bohemians will host Shelbourne and Wexford will visit holders Galway United in the Avenir Sports All-Island Cup semi-finals after all four teams got through their last-eight ties on Saturday.
Reigning back-to-back champions Galway advanced to the last-four of the competition, which brings together both SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division and Northern Irish clubs, after a 3-1 win over Shamrock Rovers at Eamonn Deacy Park.
Ceola Bergin's double had Galway in control at half-time and then an own goal put Phil Trill's side 3-0 up, before the in-form Joy Ralph scored a consolation for the Hoops.
Shelbourne breezed through to the semis after a 6-0 triumph over Treaty United at Tolka Park.
Jess Gargan's early goal had Shels on course before Noelle Murray and Mackenzie Anthony solidified that advantage with two more just before the break.
Gargan would net again in the second half, with Jemma Quinn and Megan Smyth-Lynch rounding off the scoring.
Bohemians, who face second-placed Shelbourne in the league next Saturday, beat Belfast side Glentoran 3-1 at Blanchflower Stadium.
Lisa Murphy and Hannah O'Brien scored in the first half, with Murphy completing her brace in the second half after Glentoran had pulled one back via Kascie Weir.
The All-Island Cup semi-finals will be played on the week ending 27 July.
