A late Katie Quirke free separated the sides after a highly entertaining game. That became a two-point lead when Áine O’Sullivan was quickest to react to a breaking ball from a Quirke free. Quirke extended Cork’s lead form a free as they were making full use of the extra player. A Fennel free had the sides level with three minutes to go before a Quirke free put Cork back in front. Scorers for Cork: K Quirke 0-6 (0-3 f), A Healy 1-0, A O’Mahony, E Cleary, R Corkery, R Leahy, S McGoldrick, A O’Sullivan 0-1 each.
