Substitutions came on at the start of the second half and made a big impact on the game. A Goal for Leah Harney in the 65th minute and a long range goal from Kaleigh Delaney made the score 4-0. Sheoladh Cunnigham -Dynan also got a goal that was assisted by Lucy Moloney in the dying minutes of the game.
