Clare Shine shows her class as Cork City claim landmark victory

Cork City 1 - UCD Waves 0: Clare Shine showed why she’s rated so highly in yesterday FAI Women’s Cup final but she’s no intention of deserting Cork City as their tide continues to rise.

The Ireland international was at her composed best in capitalising on an error in the UCD Waves defence by dribbling around goalkeeper Brooke Dunne and squeezing her shot home from a difficult angle.

That breakthrough at Lansdowne Road after 34 minutes gave Cork the platform that their early play deserved and they were rarely threatened by the pre-final favourites for the next hour.
