Round 8 of the SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division features six fixtures including a top-of-the-table showdown live on TG4 this Saturday (23th May 2026), with Galway United and Athlone Town meeting at Eamonn Deacy Park in what looks to be the night’s defining 90 minutes.

Galway United v Athlone Town
Galway United host Athlone Town in a meeting of the league’s two unbeaten sides.
Phil Trill’s Galway saw their 100% league record ended in last weekend’s 0-0 draw at Tolka Park, while Athlone’s 1-0 home win over Treaty United with Dana Scheriff on the scoresheet again brought the champions level on points at the summit.
Scheriff leads the League scoring charts and faces a Galway side featuring the consistent threat of Emma Doherty.

Peamount United v Shelbourne
Peamount United were on the wrong end of a 5-2 result against Wexford at Ferrycarrig Park last weekend, while Shelbourne - who are yet to concede at Tolka Park this season held leaders Galway United to a 0-0 draw at Tolka in Round 7.
The Reds will be looking to close the gap at the top and it's the perfect opportunity to do so as the top two face each other.
Sligo Rovers v Cork City
Sligo Rovers return to The Showgrounds looking to back up last week’s 2-1 away win at the RSC against Waterford.
Cork City picked up their first point of the season in Round 7 with a 1-1 draw against DLR Waves under new manager Derek Coughlan.
Bohemians v Waterford
Bohemians host Waterford at Dalymount Park looking to build on a goalless draw away to Shamrock Rovers in Round 7.

Treaty United v Wexford
Treaty United host a Wexford side fresh off a 5-2 home win over Peamount United at Ferrycarrig Park.
April Player of the Month Madison McGuane will look to lead the Treaty attack as Laurie Ryan's side will want to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat away to champions Athlone Town.
Wexford sit among the League top scorers and arrive in Limerick on the back of their highest-scoring league performance of the season.
Shamrock Rovers v DLR Waves
Shamrock Rovers host DLR Waves in Tallaght as they look to get back to winning ways following their Round 7 stalemate with Bohemians.
