WOMEN’S FOOTBALL: Sion Swifts climnb to second after win over Derry City

Sion Swifts moved up to second in the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership with a hard-fought victory over Derry City at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium on Wednesday night.

Tyler Toland’s goal was enough for the Strabane-based side, who are now unbeaten in five games and remain two points behind leaders Linfield, who have played a game fewer.

The Blues continued their perfect start as captain Kirsty McGuinness and Megan Bell both netted hat-tricks in a six-goal demolition of newly promoted Comber Rec.
