Division six
The Everbuild division 6 final was played between Plunketts and O'Dwyers.
There was an intense opening few minutes as Plunketts came in close to the goal and pushed for a score but the O Dwyers backs battled hard and worked well to keep them from scoring. However Plunkett's Gabby Couch made the breakthrough and scored a point to give her side an early lead.
Plunketts were the stronger side in the opening minutes as they hold the majority of the possession and the O Dwyers backs were pushed very hard. The defence played well though and as Alison Burke took a shot it was saved by Plunketts' keeper Bolu Abiru.
Plunketts held onto the ball and they were awarded a free in front of the goal and it was pointed by Katie Dolan.
O Dwyers started to get more control of the game as the ball started to be brought further up the field but Plunketts were still a dominating force and their midfield line were able to stop any sign of an O Dwyers attack.
O Dwyers had a good run with two close shots from Erin Healy as she played well with the ball but they both went wide.
At half time the score stood at Plunketts. 0-02, O Dwyers 0-00.
In a quick start Plunketts got underway straight away with two points from Katie Dolan and Anne McSweeney to further extend their early lead and just moments after this again as they kept the pressure on McSweeney scored another point.
O Dwyers' Erin Healy continued her impressive play as she made a great run up the length of the pitch to get the ball to the other side. They were then awarded a free which she took to keep the possession there but the ball was forced wide by the Plunketts backs.
Plunketts kept piling the pressure on the O Dwyers defence with several more chances in front of the goal, however keeper Abiru played very impressively and kept them at bay.
However Plunketts didn't let up and Katie Dolan scored her third point of the game, followed swiftly by Anne McSweeney's first.
O Dwyers' Erin Healy continued her impressive form as she made a great block but Alison Burke struck again for Plunketts with another pointed score.
