Wexford applied early pressure in the second half, with Amy Walsh having a free deflected straight into the hands of Turner after six minutes. On ten minutes, it was one of those goals which can't be defended, when a cross from near the right touchline by Ryan Doyle of UCD sailed over Lenehan's head and hit the far post and in for 3-1 to UCD. Just after the quarter-hour, Maria Delahunty had a shot on target which UCD's Turner was just able to prevent from hitting the net. With 17 minutes to go, Gary Hunt brought on two crucial substitutions in Aoibhin Webb and Orla Casey and decided to go for it and UCD, who were looking comfortable, just cracked under the weight of the Wexford pressure with players now supporting Claire O'Riordan up front. It became 3-2 with eight minutes to go when a great cross from the left was knocked home by Aoibhin Webb who showed a keen predatory instinct to ghost in from the right wing to meet the ball near the penalty spot. The excellent Emma Hansberry then had a volley wide for the Youths before, with a minute to go of the 90 minutes, Claire O'Riordan headed home a great cross, this time from the right, to bring the game to 3-3.
