A hard fought game ensued and Green Isle's Eileen O'Boyle picked up a point from mid field before going in a half time 0- 2 ñ 0-1   Both teams were focused going into the second half, the home side seemed to settle quickly. Louise Landers attracted a lot of attention from the Croydon backs, Brid Hoare and Claire Curtin, however she found enough space to take a point from play. Soon after Eileen O'Boyle converted a 45 taking the score to 0 4 to 0 1.   The visitors found their feet in midfield, and showed tremendous skill from Melanie Hoare and Rita O'Mahoney winning the ball for the Croydon forwards, resulting in a point for Croydon. Repeated efforts to convert goals for Croydon were thwarted by  Laura Mythen and man of the match performance for Anna Cullen in goals for Green Isle.    The final spell of the second half, was enjoyed most by home side Green Isle.
