Wednesday evening had been intended as Cinema Evening, a new picture house having opened around the corner and being in need of investigation and appraisal. Given my enduring weakness for high-school movies there was only going to be one winner: Booksmart, in which two clever students realise on the eve of graduation that they should have worked less and played more, upon which they hit the town and attempt to cram four years of lost fun into one night.

It appears not just the Association has learned lessons from last season’s FAI Women’s Cup final as Shelbourne intend righting the wrongs of their defeat to Wexford when the teams meet again tomorrow. 

A lot can change in the space of a year. Just ask Claire O’Riordan, who went from being a back-up striker to Wexford Youths’ top scorer and a league winner.
