Final: Fr. Mathews 55 Meteors 45

A comeback wat the end of the third quarter ensured a first title for Cork’s Fr. Mathews. Both sides took time to get into the game and scoring was low. Meteors got off to a start first, opening up an 8-2 lead in the first quarter, however, a huge three-pointer from Emma Gallagher saw Fr. Mathews close the gap and get into their stride. another three-pointe, this time from Olivia Dupuy, saw a seven point gap 36 seconds earlier close to just one. meteors once again built an eight-point lead in the third before Niamh Dwyer’s scoring turned the game into a ten-point Fr. Mathews lead, one they would hold on to for what Dwyer said was an”absolutely massive” win for the club.[3]
