Jane Dolan was on form from all her placed balls, Elizabeth Lynch, Niamh Kirby, and Fiona O’Neill working hard in the forward line, insured Meath tailled a score of 1-11 to Roscommon 0-1 at the interval.

Defending in the second half was going to be vital, as straight from the off Roscommon piled on the pressure, with scores from Cait Kenny and Sinead O Brien, Meath pointed frees from Jane Dolan.
