A final Word on the 2020 WNL Season

Leave a comment

For the final time this season we were joined by award winning journalist Emma Duffy of the42.ie. We had a look through the 2020 Women’s National League season. You can listen on Spotify below, or on PodBean clicking here. You can also get our podcasts on most platforms, including Apple, by searching Post to Post Sport. Click Latest Episodes above for our last 10 shows including the Box to Box, our European football show.

It was an unusual year all around. There were times we were worried the season may not go ahead at all. We are grateful to everybody who made the season possible and all those who gave up their time. We really appreciate the support our WNL podcast has gotten over the season with guests always willing to come on.

Final Standings

Table History

Peamount were deserved league and cup champions. The double winners lost just once in all competitions this season, and were only knocked out of the Champions League on penalties. Simply, they were irresistible.

Shelbourne ran the champions close, and were ultimately only 15 minutes away from winning the league. We would like to wish David Bell all the best as he moves on from the club.

Wexford Youths, Cork City, and Galway make up the rest of the top 5. Cork will be particularly happy as they continue to improve each year and had a cup final this season too. DLR Waves were unlucky to miss out, and have done fantastic work for the mental health charity Suicide or Survive.

The new sides Athlone Town, Treaty United, and Bohemians proved to be sustainable additions to the league. Bohs got to play in Dalymount Park, the first WNL game to take place there. All 3 sides impressed in their first season.

Thank you to the WNL Show for joining us on the show throughout the season and providing the entire Women’s National League fan base with stats, updates, and coverage throughout the season.

Thank you to all the coaches, players, and volunteers who have come on our show over the course of the season to provide input. Thank you to everybody who has listened and shared our podcasts and articles throughout the year.

We will return with regular Women’s National League podcasts next season. Until then, stay safe, and happy new year.

WNL Round-Up: Peamount Are Champions Of Ireland

1 Comment

Peamount United have retained the Women’s National League.

Peamount United 3-1 Shelbourne

Peas came from behind with Aine O’Gorman the hero to claim the WNL title. After a scoreless first half, Shels opened the scoring immediately in the second half. O’Gorman fired in a free kick to equalize. Karen Duggan’s header off a Megan Smyth-Lynch corner put Peas in front with 12 minutes to go. O’Gorman got a second with 4 minutes to go to seal the win.

Wexford Youths 2-2 Cork City

The other game in the WNL was a 4-goal thriller. Lauren Egbuloniu turned in a cross to put the away side in front early on. Wexford were reduced to 10 women after Conlon saw red. Kira Bates Crosbie equalized in the second half with her first senior goal. Crosbie turned provider as she set up Aisling Frawley to finish in the bottom right corner to give Wexford the lead. Katie McCarthy’s lobbed shot found the net to ensure the spoils were shared.
