Act One of this encounter was a finely balanced affair, with St Eunan’s holding a slender one-point advantage at the midway point.

Claire Doherty and Feena McManamon raised green flags for the Letterkenny side, while Abbie McGranaghan landed a major for Glenfin in the first half.

The second stanza proved to be a similar scenario, with nothing separating the two teams as we entered the closing ten minutes at the Lifford venue.

However, Caitlin Fletcher fired home a 52nd minute goal for the O’Donnell Park residents to give them a three-point cushion heading down the home stretch.

The Pairc Taobhoige outfit closed the gap to two through a late Karen Guthrie free but it was as close as they could manage, with St Eunan’s progressing to the competition’s showpiece.
