Crescent CC (Limerick) 1 - 1 Mount Mercy (Cork)(Crescent win shoot-out 2-1)Elle Sorensen and Amy Ahearne’s nerves of steel saw Crescent win back the Munster Schoolgirls Senior Cup title over last year’s vanquishers Mount Mercy at Garryduff via a shoot-out. The Limerick school overcame a horror start when they gift-wrapped the Model Farm Road outfit a fifth-minute opening goal. Ciara Buckley — younger sister of Irish international Emma — was outstanding between the posts with Saoirse Griffin and Jane Murphy shining further up the field. Leah O’Shea’s shoot-on-sight policy meant the Cork school were always a threat but Crescent eventually pulled level five minutes into the second half. O’Shea’s two rising shots were the closest to a winner in normal time as the shootout beckoned.
