Eamonn Murphy Amy Lee (Na Piarsaigh): Galway largely sat off on puck-outs which meant Lee was tempted to go short regularly. There was more variety to her restarts in the second half when the middle-third options were more aggressive. Both goals came from long deliveries. 8.
Izzy O’Regan (Ballygarvan): In the thick of the action from the throw-in, though Galway were extremely dangerous up top.
Settled well, as did the rest of the younger guns. 7.
Libby Coppinger (St Colum’s): Niamh Niland and Caoimhe Kelly clipped some super first-half points but there was little their markers could do as Galway were finding them in pockets of space. Had to make some last-gasp tackles, and fouls, coming down the stretch. 7.
