Laois was at the heart of Wexford Youths triumph in the women's FAI Cup final at Tallaght Stadium. 

Kylie Murphy hit a superb volley to restore Wexford's lead in the second-half, while Della Doherty and Ciamh Gray played pivotal roles in defending that advantage. 

Murphy who ended the league campaign as the second highest scorer in the WNL, capitalised spectacularly on a lovely drag-back and cross from the instrumental Ellen Molloy in the 53rd-minute.

The South-East side adopted an effective rear-guard action against the newly crowned league champions for the next 20-minutes or so before Edel Kennedy popped up to give some level of assurance for the remaining time. 

It caps a stellar season for the trio and Kylie Murphy of Portarlington in particular, who is up for player of the year honours at the Women's National League awards night.
