Donegal and Inishowen's influence on Sligo Rovers was on display in their victory at Dalymount Park against Bohemians in the Women's FAI Cup quarter-final

Sligo Rovers produced a shock to win 1-0 in their Women's FAI Cup quarter-final against Bohemians at Dalymount Park.

Rovers have just won once in the League of Ireland Women's Premier Division this term and sit second from bottom but came out on top in Dublin when Emma Hansberry deflected in a shot from Buncrana's Jodie Loughrey for the only goal in the 78th minute. 

Loughrey was joined in the starting line up by fellow Buncrana natives- her sister Keri and Emma Doherty, while Paula McGrory made her first appearance of the season off the bench. Eimear Lafferty from Redcastle was also in the starting team.
