\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 4-6 Newport 3-8<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Newport \u2018keeper made a fine save in the fifth minute to deny Aislinn O\u2019Brien a goal. A minute later Louise Hickey won a free which Holly O\u2019Brien converted and \u00c9ire \u00d3g took a deserved lead. Two minutes later Alanna Morris added a goal before Amy Heffernan made a vital clearance off the line in the tenth minute.<\/p>\n

Newport\u2019s first score materialised in the 13th minute, but Aislinn O\u2019Brien responded for \u00c9ire \u00d3g after good work from Holly O\u2019Brien. Three minutes later Newport converted a free to leave a goal in it, but Ciara McGrath rifled home a terrific 21-yard free in the 18th minute following a foul on Julie Moylan (2-2 to 0-2).<\/p>\n

To their credit Newport responded to the challenge in style. A Newport point preceded a goal in the 21st minute (2-2 to 1-4).<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g were left cursing their luck in the 22nd minute when Alanna Morris\u2019 rasping shot found the Newport crossbar following terrific work from Aislinn O\u2019Brien and the outstanding Michelle Collins. <\/p>\n

A fourth Newport point in the 23rd minute cut the Blues\u2019 lead to a single point, but Alanna Morris responded for \u00c9ire \u00d3g in the 25th minute.<\/p>\n

In the 26th Holly O\u2019Brien won and converted a free, but a fifth Newport point in the second minute of first half injury time left two in it at the break (2-4 to 1-5).<\/p>\n

SECOND HALF<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the opening minute of the second half Aislinn O\u2019Brien thundered home a superb individual goal. Six minutes later Newport responded with a goal of their own and when Newport added a point to their tally in the 41st the \u00c9ire \u00d3g lead was down to one (3-4 to 2-6).<\/p>\n

In the 42nd minute Holly O\u2019Brien scored a fantastic goal – O\u2019Brien did exceptionally well to control a Michelle Collins delivery before turning and burying a sensational left-handed shot (4-4 to 2-6).<\/p>\n

Newport responded with a point, but Michelle Collins landed a terrific point in the 47th minute to force \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 4-5 to 2-7 lead.<\/p>\n

In the 51st minute Newport scrambled home a goal following a fine reaction save from Ali Darcy. Four minutes later a Holly O\u2019Brien point, following good work from Louise Hickey, left two in it.<\/p>\n

Following a handful of lengthy delays referee Martin Griffin elected to play eleven minutes of injury time. Newport poured forward in search of vital scores, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g defended stoutly with Ali Darcy making a crucial save and Ciara McGrath a superb block.<\/p>\n

Newport did add a late point to their tally, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g clung for a deserved win.<\/p>\n
