Background
editPeamount United had won the Dublin Women's Soccer League and the DWSL Premier Cup that season.[3] They also came in to the game having lost the 2005 final 0–1 to Dundalk City,[4] and having lost the 2008 final 1–2 to St Francis as a result of an injury time penalty.[5]
Salthill came into the game with it being the first national final that a senior side at the club had ever made it to. Whilst the club had never made it to a final, many of the players featured in the Galway Ladies League team that won the cup in 2007.[6][7]
