Mungret St Pauls 3-7 Bruff 2-3

After an epic drawn group match and subsequent playoff game that similarly failed to decide which team would progress to the cup semi final, three was finally the magic number for the Mungret St Pauls girls. On September 12th 2020 as per the previous games, it was Mungret St. Pauls who took the early initiative with a number of points before Bruff got their opening score. Given that this was the third match in a week for both sets of girls the intensity and work rates were incredible. No team was giving much quarter and while Mungret St. Pauls managed to build up their lead going into half time, Bruff were never too far off. For the third game in a row it was Bruff who came out quickest after the break and started to take control, out scoring Mungret St. Pauls 1-3 to 2 points and closing the gap to a solitary point before the final water break arrived. As a sense of “here we go again” descended on the ground, the Mungret St. Pauls girls had other ideas. From the restart they upped their intensity, hurled with their heads and scored an unanswered 1-3 to finish out eventual seven points winners. With a total of 21 Mungret St. Pauls girls involved over the three games, this was a true squad effort to see the girls progress.
