Emma Doherty scored the winner for Galway United against Sligo Rovers
Buncrana native and former Sligo Rovers striker Emma Doherty scored a 53rd minute Women’s Premier Division winner for Galway Utd against the Bit O’Red in a tight encounter at Eamonn Deacy Park on Saturday evening that saw Galway earn three points in a 2-1 win.
Two and a half seasons at the Showgrounds ended surprisingly with a move to Galway during the transfer window.
The Buncrana woman’s second-half strike was all that separated the sides after 90 minutes as Amanda Smith’s lead goal for Galway was cancelled by fellow Buncrana native Paula McGrory’s penalty close to the interval.
Doherty has become one of the most notable strikers in the country since her debut in 2022, averaging out roughly a goal every second game for the 'Bit O’ Red.
