Maire Ni Scolai wrote in the irish Independent:

Limerick couldn't cope with the goal scoring instincts of Glynn and her Galway colleagues and Denise Gilligan. played a stormer for Limerick in midfield, but they were denied several scoring chances by Galway's outstanding centre-back, Tracey Laheen.

Galway got off to a slow start and eight minutes had elapsed before their opening score, a fine Denise Gilligan point from play. Glynn struck for her first goal just before half time to put her side 1-3 to 0-3 ahead. Limerick began the second half in whirlwind fashion, scoring three quick points from (2) and to level the scores at 0-6 to 1-3. Glynn then struck for her second goal and followed with her third moment later, breaching the Limerick defence to set up Denise Gilligan for Galway's third goal. gave Limerick some hope when her long-range free went all the way to the Galway net to leave the scoreline at 3-3 to 1-6. However, two further goals from full-forward sent Galway further ahead before Glynn completed her hat-trick from a penalty following a foul on Denise Gilligan.
