Glentoran’s title party began with another convincing victory – their ninth in a row in the top-flight – as they saw off Derry City 9-1.
Lauren Wade was top scorer on the night as she bagged four goals in total and remarkably she scored twice within the space of a minute twice, netting in the 22nd, 23rd, 45th and 46th minutes.
Caragh Hamilton had opened the scoring for the Glens in the 14th minute and she added another 20 minutes later, while Nadene Caldwell also netted in the first half.
Danielle Maxwell and Cora Morgan also scored for the home side - Caroline Gallagher pulled a consolation goal back for the Candystripes.
