Stars of the show went to the Lafferty twins Maya and Jessica, who put in try saving tackles when their bigger opponents seemed destined to score. 

With their sister Grace, along with Anna Lowry and Caitlyn Walden running and rucking like demons, the Finn Valley team were not overawed by the big occasion. 

Keisha Harkin and Alannah McGlynn charged through on a number of occasions, helped by fine running by Sophie McGee and Ava Hall
