Wexford started better in the second period and Aisling Frawley got in a good cross in the first five minutes which a Cork defender just diverted over her own crossbar. Saoirse Noonan then could have done better when well-placed in front of the Wexford goal and it became a question as to who could score first. Sophie Lenehan then had a good catch from a Maggie Duncliffe free and, with 15 minutes to go, Cork went nearest to breaking the deadlock when a header from a corner hit the corner of the Wexford post and bar. Rachel Hutchinson then replaced Katrina Parrock for Wexford and game finished 0-0. In extra-time, it was fairly even as Ciara Delaney replaced McKenna Davidson for Wexford and Aisling Frawley had a rare header wide of the Cork post. Cork then finished strongly as Noonan had a goal-bound drive deflected wide of the Wexford post and Edel ‘Scarface’ Kennedy sporting a gash on her cheek was brave at the near post to prevent a Cork goal.
