O’Reilly secures final spot for Sligo

Sligo 2-12 Clare 1-14

And for 18 year-old Clare forward Aine Kelly from Fergus Rovers selection as ‘player of the game’ was poor consolation for her misfortune in missing two frees near the end.

Ultimately, two points by Stephanie O’Reilly earned Sligo their place in the final for the third consecutive year after a terrific contest and the hope of compensating for last year’s defeat to Armagh and Kildare in 2004.
