Cork midfielder Sandie Fitzibbon looked very impressive in the half, and with goal scorer Linda Mellerick and Collite O'Mahoney, who scored two points, finding their range. Points from Sandie Fitzgibbon and Ann Leahy put Cork into the lead only minutes after the restart, but Edel Murphy quickly put Dublin back in the lead with two points from frees. It all fell apart for the Dubliners in the 37th minutes when Cork full forward Mary Geaney finished a long ball from the right into the net. Dublin pulled the Cork lead back to a single point twice in the remaining quarter with points from Marie Connell and Anna Condron and with minutes left Marie Connell mishit a shot only yards from goal and Edel Murphy shot just wide from a difficult free before Mary Geaney wrapped it up in the final minute with another opportunist goal.
