team took on Shamrock Gaels in the A decider. Both teams having met in the early parts of the year with either teams recording a win, it was always going to be an entertaining game. The game was played in 4 quarters. At the end of the first quarter, after some excellent defending, Tourlestrane lead on scoreline of 0-4 to 0-0, Shamrock gaels came back in the second quarter and Tourlestrane went in at half time on the wrong side of a 1-4 to 2-3 scoreline. The girls came out more determined in the third and forth goal and a blisteing goal from Sarah Cunnie after a run through the middled paved the way for a Tourlestrane victory. The final score 3-10 to 2-8. Team captains, Catherine Marren and Laura Surlis received the cup on behalf of the team.
