Naden time his run from the edge of the area to side foot the ball home from 12 yards 1-0. 5 minutes later brought another corner for St. Augustine's and J.Todd again put in the perfect delivery. This time it was right under the bar and McPartlin popped in front of the keeper to head home on the line 2-0. Immaculate Heart put a lot of pressure and were rewarded with a fine shot from the edge of the box that flew past the keeper 2-1 to St.Augustine's at half time. Throughout the second half Immaculate Heart were the more attacking team, but J. Naden scored the complete winner, forcing the ball home on the line after a cross from the left 3-1.
