Kilrush dominated the first half and settled with a brace of points from Áine Browne. Three goals from Maria Murphy gave Kilrush a commanding lead and this was further enhanced by an Aoife O’Gorman goal followed by two points from Siobhán Behan.
This left the half-time score Kilrush 5-6, St Pat’s 0-3. On resumption, St Pat’s lifted their game and scored two quick goals. With 10 minutes remaining, two further goals for St Pat’s reduced the deficit to seven points.
