St Leonards    5          Stoney LFC    0
Fiona Ryan opened her season with a hat trick in this Shield game as they ran out 5-0 winners over Stoney. Aisling Murphy also found the net as did a Stoney defender who deflected the ball into her own net

Fastnet Rovers          6          New Ross Town        2
Rovers proved too strong for a young Town side and ran out comfortable 6-2 winners. Jenny Delaney and Sinead Ryan were on target for Town while goals from Joanne Jordan (2), Kathlynn Gabbett, Lorraine Breen, Amy Cleary and Triona Kelly made up Rovers tally

Divisional Shield Group C
Cushinstown AFC      0          Shelburne FC             2

Divisional Shield Group D
Ajax Athletic   1          Arklow Town             6
Sophie Savage was on target for the home side but a quick forward line gave their defence a torrid time and Arklow made their debut at this level a winning one.

Bunclody AFC            3          Moyne Rangers         2
This match between two of the Shield favourites was probably the match of the day with both sides bouncing back from poor seasons last year. Megan O Shea gave Moyne an early lead before goals from Kate Hendrick, an own goal and Katlyn Murphy put Bunclody 3-1 ahead. Siobhan Grant Moorehead did manage to pull one back for Moyne but the home side held on for the three points

Divisional Shield Group E
Rosslare Rangers      1          Bridge Rovers            4
Bridge are a team that could make an impact this season and showed their potential when they travelled to Rosslare Rangers and came away 4-1 winners. Lauren Barry scored for Rangers but goals from Deirdre Byrne (2), Hayley Lacey and Michelle Carr gave the Castlebridge side victory

St Josephs      7          Wexford Bohs            1
Aideen Byrne scored a header for new club Wexford Bohs but it was not enough against a very strong St Josephs side. Emer O Leary (2), Tracey McCormack (2), Michelle Gahan (2) and Orry Murphy were all on target for the home side who could be serious contenders this season if they can hold this squad together
