Kildare's Cross and Passion a formidable outfit had a six point lead at half time but Loreto Balbriggan ably assisted by Sioffra and Ella had it down to a point with five minutes on the clock. A rocket of a goal put Cross and Passion four up. Further Loreto attacks had them hit the crossbar for the third time. There was two points in it in the end and the Kildare team just about deserved their win.
