Second-half goals from Sophie Hanlon and Leiagh Glennon helped Bohemians beat Treaty United 2-0 to lift the Women's Under-19 Cup in Athlone Town Stadium.

Bohemians - who had scored 106 goals this season going into this game - showed that bit of extra class when it counted, like when Hanlon opened the scoring on 52 minutes with a sweet right-footed strike.

Four minutes later Bohemians doubled their lead when Glennon, who received the player of the match award, raced clear and finished from a tight angle.
