Peamount took the lead in the fourth minute when Eleanor Ryan Doyle headed home from close range after good work by Chloe Murphy.

Listowel had a lengthy spell of dominance in the first half but failed to trouble United keeper Amy Corcoran although a brilliant strike by Niamh Carmody seven minutes into the second half was a signal of their attacking threat.

Peamount skipper Rachel Doyle was a massive influence on the game with her dead-ball deliveries and it was from her 49th minute cross that Chloe Murphy had a header saved from point blank range.

Doyle then made it 2-0 with a stunning 22-yard free-kick that flew in off the inside of the Celtic post to put Peamount in control.

Listowel got back in the game in the 70th minute when Aoife Shine's right wing cross went over the head of Corcoran and landed in the Peamount net.

Celtic skipper Rebecca Horgan went desperately close to levelling matters in the 74th minute when he was sent through on goal only to see her slipped effort slide the wrong side of the Peamount upright.

Peamount sealed the victory with three minutes left when substitute Erin Best produced a brilliant shot from distance that the impressive Listowel keeper Tina Mangan could do little to keep out.
