The 2007 FAI Women's Cup final, known as the 2007 FAI Umbro Women's Senior Cup final for sponsorship reasons, was the final match of the 2007 FAI Women's Cup, the national association women's football cup of the Republic of Ireland. The match took place on Sunday 14 October 2007 at Dalymount Park in Dublin, between a Galway Ladies League representative team and Raheny United.
The Galway side won the game 1–0 thanks to a Niamh Fahey penalty.[1][2] Galway won the cup first time in their history, with the success in this competition helping lead to the later formation of Galway WFC in 2013.[3]
Background
[edit]Both sides came in to the match with it being their first ever final. The year before in 2006, the final was another case of a league representative side defeating a Dublin team 1–0, with Mayo Ladies League defeating UCD in Richmond Park.[4]
