The opening 30 minutes which was a spirited encounter was rocked to life by Dublin's three first half goals courtesy of Emma Colgan, Ciara McKeown and Ann Marie Troy. Dublin led the Slaneysiders by 3-07 to 1-00 at the interval, Wexford only score of the first half, a goal coming from the boot of centre forward, Chloe Fox.

 

On the restart, Dublin began to exert renewed pressure on the Wexford defence, Dublin then pounced to grab a brace of goals, with Aoife Kane, Ciara McKeown, Louise Whelan, Emma Colgan and Mia Jennings all on target for Dublin. Wexford's Chloe Fox knocked over a consolation point late in the second half to finish the game as her side's only scorer with a personnel tally of, 1-01.

 

Dublin look on course to reach this years provincial decider but Pat Kane's chargers will be keeping their feet firmly rooted to the ground as Dublin have two tough games against Offaly and Laois to look forward to in the coming weeks.
