Right from the start, Skryne took control of the game, with their forwards and midfield working in unison to create scoring chances. Ellie Murphy was the top scorer of the night, contributing 0-4 (including a free), while Amy O’Dowd and Abbye Donnelly chipped in with 0-2 each. The forwards benefitted from solid support in the middle of the park, where Annie Ryan and Catriona Keoghan were tireless, breaking up Walterstown’s attacks and ensuring Skryne retained possession.
