St Martin’s went two points up with frees by Rebecca Roche to make the running early on

Danesfort chased hard, but they had to wait until the twenty second minute to register their first score from a free by Jenny O’Neill

Between that score and half time, the North Kilkenny side added two more pointed frees through their free taker, Rebecca Roche

The ‘Fort added a point by Jenny O’Neill from a free which was sandwiched between the forementioned scores to leave the half time score 0-4 to 0-2 in favour of St Martin’s

The first score of the game from play arrived early in the second half when Edel Coonan fired over a point for the winners

Danesfort replied with a point from play through Megan Walsh and a Jenny O’Neill free to leave a single point between the sides
