The winners got the better start and raced into a three point lead thanks to scores from Cheyene O'Brien, Aideen Smith and a free from Ciara Donoghue.

Kildalkey opened their account with a point before Paddy Kelly's charges got in for two goals through Sarah Kelly and Jenny Rispin. The eventual winners thought they had a third green flag raised but Cheyenne O'Brien effort was disallowed.

Kildalkey gave themselves some hope before the break when Rachelle Potterton goaled to leave the half time score 2-4 to 1-1 in Kiltale's favour.

The team in Blue and White pressed hard in the second half and were rewarded with 1-3 to narrow the gap but two great long range points from Sarah Kelly and Cheyenne O'Brien steadied Kiltale and they held on to record a great victory. 

Best for the winners were Emma Mc Loughlin, Cheyenne O'Brien and Fiona Madden in defence. Louise Donoghue was voted Player of the Match at midfield and was greatly assisted by Aindrea Pearle who got through a great lot of work. Up front Sarah Kelly, Rachel Gareth and Jenny Rispin were a constant threat to the Kildalkey rearguard.

After the game Meath Camogie Chairman Michael Butler presented the Jim McDermott Memorial Cup to Kiltale captain Cheyenne O'Brien.
