However just like the boys the Girls came out in the second half with a flurry and three quick goals gave them a commanding lead and they went on to win 4-5 to 1-6. The team was: Maeve McDermott, Lisa Callaghan, Aoife Morrisroe, Katy McCann, Katie Little, Jade Lyons (0-1), Lousie Merrick, Chloe McTiernan, Eba McCann, Roisin Kearns, Rachel Boyd (2-1), Erin Mullaney (1-1), Jane Benson (0-1), Keeva McDermott, Makayla McLoughlin (1-1) Subs: Ela McDermott (0-1), Mairead Tuohy, Aine Brennan, Leah Monaghan, Kate Buckley, Aine Kearns, Erin O’Sullivan, Isobel Clarke, Rachel Healy.
