In the second half Clarecastle were first on the scoreboard with scores from Charlotte O’Brien (1-1),  Megan Healy (2-0) and Aimee Barrett (0-1) to stretch their lead.  In the final 5 minutes Éire Óg scored their 4th goal but Clarecastle responded quickly with Emma O’Loughlin scoring (1-1), and a goal from Aoife Murphy to emerge as winners.  Well done to all the girls on an excellent overall display.
