Laura Wynne and Megan Fitzpatrick impressed on a humid evening while Ciara O’Neill playmaking skills also caught the eye. O Neill delivered a number of superb passes into the full forwards who converted to scores.
Lauren Rodican was busy on the half toward line while Shauna McGrath worked the wings really well.
For Manhattan Gaels Lauren Burke and Laura Brennan definitely were very strong. Evergreen Shelly Hackett showed that age was only a number as the veteran was up and down the pitch relentlessly.
