Chloe Morey and Sarah Loughnane kept the scoreboard ticking over with scores from places balls. Emma Kennedy and Rachel Kelly were outstanding in defence.

Kilmaley started the better in the second half and the game was quickly level and then it was score for score right up until the end of normal time. Kilmaley got the last scores in injury time to take the victory.
