Cooraclare 5-12 Miltown 2-13
3 goals in 10 minutes midway through the second half ended Miltown's hopes of regaining the county ladies senior title. County champions Cooraclare had the better of the opening exchanges and raced to a 2-7 to 8 points lead at half time despite being a player down for 10 minutes of the half. Miltown had what appeared to be a clear penalty turned down when the referee awarded a 13 meter free when Aoife Healy appeared to be felled well inside the box by Eithne Morrissey.
St. Joseph's burst out of the blocks in the second half and after 8 minutes led 2-9 to 2-7, with the goals coming from Michelle McCaw and the ever dangerous Fiona Lafferty. However, Miltown could not open the gap to 3 points and this proved fatal as Cooraclare finished strongly and ended Miltown's challenge.
In truth, on the day too many of Miltown's players failed to perform and their defence was under sever pressure for long periods.
