They repeated the trick again, with Morgan again on hand to fire over. Katie Tuite turned over possession soon after and drove forward to register her 3rd score of the game. Substitute Lucy Andrews got a great point after an excellent layoff from O'Connor, who had now moved into full forward. A clever sideline kick from Morgan found O'Connor again who released Jessie Tuite to out the ball over the bar. With 5 minutes left to play, the impressive Morgan managed to secure her hat-trick. Larissa Carey done extremely well to turn the ball over in her own half before driving forward and releasing Morgan who finished brilliantly over the advancing keeper. The referee blew for a throw up when the kickout led to a scramble for possession. Hannah Keogh secured possession from this and found Katie Tuite who kicked another excellent score, capping a brilliant display from her. Larissa Carey then found O'Connor, who did well to slip her marker ad and point off her left foot.
