There were 4 points apiece scored in the 2nd half, one from Laura Keane & Tara Hastings putting 3 over the bar but it was the goals got & saved that made the difference for Westport with some excellent saves from Goalie Laura Fitzgerald & 2 got from Tara Hastings & one from Nicola O'Malley. Westport were 8 points clear in the end. Player of the match went to Tara Hastings.
