Seneschalstown recorded their second successive SFC win in this second round tie played in ideal conditions in Batterstown on Sunday evening. This was a repeat of the league final pairings with the Yellow Furze girls again finishing strongly with an improved second half performance. Grainne Nulty and Fiona Mahon caused problems for the Donaghmore/Ashbourne rearguard in the opening half and accounted for 1-6 of their first half-tally, with Amy Carolan adding an impressive goal to her credit. The Seneschalstown defence were caught napping however before the interval allowing Donaghmore/Ashbourne in for two quick goals to leave the Yellow Furze side ahead by 2-7 to 2-2 at half-time.
Amy Carolan added her second goal following a good Seneschalstown move and with wind advantage Seneschalstown began to dominate the game. Carolan (3), Mahon (3), Grainne McGowan, Siobhan Sheridan and wing back Adele Carolan added further points to increase their lead while Donaghmore added 3 points for the entire second half. Top scorer Carolan, Grainne Nulty, Fiona Mahon, Adelle Carolan and Philomena Sheridan were best for the defending champions.
