Elsewhere, Orla O’Dwyer of Tipperary starred as league leaders Brisbane Lions scored a fourth win pn the bounce by defeating North Melbourne, a side that also had Irish representation in Mayo’s Aileen Gilroy.
Along with the Lions, Collingwood also reached the finals as Sarah Rowe (Mayo) and Aishling Sheridan (Cavan) helped them to a comfortable 59-13 win over St Kilda.
