On another cold and windy evening in Strabane, scoring was at a premium in the first half with the score at the break 4pts to 3 pts in favour of Galbally.

Moy came away from Fintona on Sunday evening with a win although the result was in the balance until late in the game. Moy started brightly and Sophie Lavery had the ball in the Fintona net early on and followed this up a few minutes later with a point. Fintona then got a stranglehold on the match and an Aislinn Colgan pointed free and a Nicola Quinn goal had the sides level. Michelle Clancy put Moy ahead but Aislinn Colgan converted 2 frees to send Fintona in at the break a point up. Moy began the second half in storming fashion with 4 points from play through Lavery, Clancy, Patricia O’Neill and Eimear Mc Cormack. But back came Fintona again – Nichola Donnelly and Nicola Quinn with points from play and a pointed free from Donnelly tying the game up again.
Eimear Mc Cormack put Moy ahead with a free only for Nichola Donnelly to point from play for Fintona. Moy were then awarded a penalty but Amy Mc Cloughan in the Fintona goal made a great save. However, Fintona failed to clear the resultant 45 and a shot for a point managed to drop into the net. This was followed by a point from play and concluded the scoring. Fintona 1-7, Moy 2-8.
