A second goal from Nulty following the interval slashed any hopes the Bohermeen side had of a recovery. St. Ultans continued to battle with Katie O’ Brien, Anna Mullen and Shauna Bennett leading the fray, however some good defending from Dearbhla O Carroll, Roisin Nulty and Edel Mcgrane and the midfield partnership of Nulty and Siobhan Sheridan kept the Yellow furze side in contention.
Best for Seneschalstown were Grainne and Roisin Nulty, Edel McGrane, Dearbhla O’ Carroll, Stephanie Byrne and Siobhan Sheridan. Dearbhla O’Carroll and Deborah Dillon were named as the captain and vice-captain respectively for the year.
