ERIN MURRAY
Ballyhaunis' finest was instrumental in setting up Saoirse Delaney's net-shaker to start to widen the gap, but it would be foolish and reductive to isolate her impact to just that.

She also popped up with a score late on to help her troops power for home, as one of the few survivors on the pitch at that stage.
She was the beating heart of this side in midfield. A vital link between attack and defence, and continued to be right up until into injury time, when she was called ashore for Ava McDonnell.
