St Fechins started the second half with a two point lead, which was quickly reversed when the home side hit the back of the net early on. St Fechins immediately responded with 2 points from Sara Moore who gave a dominant performance in midfield, but the Mochtas were never far behind. They kicked three unanswered points to put the game back on level terms with five minutes to go. Two goals from Rebecca Howell sealed the win for St Fechins. The first was a penalty, given after Céire Nolan was hauled down after a sixty metre run, and the second from play. The Fechins defence stood strong in the final moments to maintain their lead and secure St Fechins ladies a place in the semi-final, an impressive feat after being promoted last year.
