Enniscorthy refused to give up hope despite the scoreline, and while the hosts were four goals behind, excellent work by a combination of Stephanie Kinsella, Laura Redmond and Lillian Howlin threatened the Kilkenny goal but they were unable to unlock the visiting defence. Foran was kept busy in the Enniscorthy net, while Ilsa Flynn worked hard to keep the ball out of the home semi-circle.
Kilkenny got the second half of the match underway, and Foran in the Enniscorthy goal was quickly into action, making two brilliant saves. Kilkenny, though, kept the Wexford women under severe pressure, forcing the concession of two short corners before Enniscorthy were able to counter- attack. It was the visiting side, though, who dominated the remainder of proceedings, finding the net on a number of occasions and ran out deserved 8-0 winners
