Determined Shelbourne plotting final revenge against Wexford

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 dramatic 2015 decider went all the way to penalties but the shootout descended into farce as Cork City were allowed warm-up on the Lansdowne Road pitch for the men’s equivalent finale which was to follow.

Eager to avoid more accusations of gender bias, the FAI have brought the kick-off time for this showpiece forward by 15 minutes to 12.05pm, thereby affording the females undivided attention from the crowd should spot-kicks be required on this occasion.
