Niamh O Brien, Sinead Kiely and Emma Browne were bursting out of their centre back line at every opportunity.Siobhan Enright and CIara Meaney defended and attacked wherever they were needed. The forwards were majestic. Almost every ball they touched was a score.The warm humid day did not stop Maire Flanagan, Cliona Mullane and Jamie O Leary showing their skill at every opportunity. The full forward line of Niamh Cagney, Mary O Gorman and Sarah Moloney showed great partnership and all looked dangerous with the sliotar in their hand.
