Three minutes into the second half, McDermott kicked a good score to draw the sides back level. The visitors edged ahead again before McGrath clawed it back to a draw, before pushing forward to kick a free and one from play to put O’Mahony’s in the lead.

This wasn’t to last however, with St Colmcilles finding the net on the forty-six minute mark and restoring the advantage in their favour. Chloe Duffy, who played a key role in attack, drew the sides level before McGrath rattled the net. 

O’Mahony’s drove on in the final ten minutes, with McGrath kicking two points and Milly Clarke Carolan adding a score. In defence, O’Mahony’s were well served by Sarah Powderly and Sophia Fitzherbert, who made some impressive runs while Sarah Maguire and Julia Collins made scoring difficult for the visitors.
