When she raised her second green flag with nine minutes to go it was the killer blow, as they led by six points at that stage and there was no way back for Cork. Add in a simply outstanding display from Danielle O’Leary, who scored 10 points for Kerry and was the deserving winner of the player of the match award, although Kayleigh Cronin pushed her close.
With 16 minutes gone Cork were back on level terms when Melissa Duggan did what she does best. She burst forward to score as Cork were now much more in contention. Quirke got her second from a free to put Cork in front for the first time after 19 minutes play. Just before the half time whistle Kerry got the boost they needed when a ball in from Katie Brosnan was fisted to the back of the net by Emma Dineen, to see Cork lead by 0-10 to 1-4 at the break.
Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh, who came on after 39 minutes, scored a point, the first Kerry player aside from O’Leary to raise a white flag for them.
