The game got underway at 16:04 and from the outset, it was clear that both teams had come to play expansive attacking football.

However, Lattin Cullen Emly’s scoring power quickly became evident. Gemma O’Connell led the line impressively, registering two goals and multiple points from play. Katie Cunningham was equally influential, chipping in with a handful of points and creating scoring chances with her sharp movement and passing.

Despite St Patrick’s strong efforts, including scores from Ailise Fitzgerald, Niamh Keane, and Eabha Hogan, they were unable to keep pace with the Lattin Cullen Emly attack, who were clinical throughout.
