LADIES MINOR FINAL ENDS ALL SQUARE
GALWAY 3-10 DUBLIN 3-10
Galway and Dublin minor ladies have to do it all again after yesterday's All-Ireland ended level. Galway got off to the better start when they found themselves two goals and two points up before Dublin registered a score. The goals coming from Emma Reaney and Ciana Ni Churraoin.
The girls from the West continued to dominate the first half even though they had two players yellow carded and went in at half time ahead on a score line of Galway 3-05 to Dublin 5 points.
Dublin started the second half with a bang when they won a free and Leah Mullins fisted the ball in to the Galway net.
Dublin were dominating the game and it was the 11th minute before Galway got their first score when Olivia Divilly pointed from a free. Galway were finding scores hard to come by while Dublin were closing the gap as the half went on. Dublin got a lifeline in the 25th minute when Emilie Gavin was red carded and they scored two goals in as many minutes to take the lead for the first time.
Just when it looked all over for Galway, Ciana Ni Churraoin broke clear and scored a point to level the game. Olivia Divilly got the player of the match award.
