Sligo Rovers Fall Short in WFAI Cup Thriller

Doherty's Record-Breaking Performance
Doherty's double in extra time extended her record as Galway United's all-time leading scorer, with the Donegal woman on the end of the game's first opening when she found herself in space down the United left. The former Sligo striker cut inside but her resulting shot from the angle was scooped away by Bonnie McKiernan in the Rovers nets.
