Órlaith Cahalane draws the free from Katie Manning. O’Connor sweeps the ball between the posts. Cork needed that.

30 mins: Cork 0-6 Galway 0-9

And Caoimhe Kelly keeps that trend of accuracy going with a brilliant effort just inside th sideline.

Galway now lead by three and Cork could do with a response before half-time.

Three minutes of injury time to be played.

29 mins: Cork 0-6 Galway 0-8

Ciara Hickey hits a sideline from the hands as it’s inside the ’45. Ailish O’Reilly pops the ball out to Dervla Higgins who flashes a shot between the posts.

25 mins: Cork 0-6 Galway 0-7

Cork win the ball through Ava Fitzgerald after a mighty scrap on the ground. The ball comes out to McCartan at the sideline, and she arrows a beautiful shot between the posts.

It’s briefly all square before a super point by Aoife Donohue from the next attack. It’s breathless stuff in the first half.

23 mins: Cork 0-5 Galway 0-6

Good work from Laura Hayes to turn the ball over and she wins a free. It’s in a tricky position for O’Connor, but she squeezes her shot inside the far post.

Just one between them now.

21 mins: Cork 0-4 Galway 0-6

We’re level!

McCartan with a monstrous score to restore parity. She gets another shot off shortly after, but it ends up as a wide for Cork.

O’Connor takes the free and puts it straight over.

Galway changes: Áine Keane is on for Mallon while Jennifer Hughes is on as a temporary replacement for Carrie Dolan.

16 mins: Cork 0-2 Galway 0-4

Meanwhile, it looks like Niamh Mallon’s day is over. That’s a disaster for the star forward who has been dealing with a shoulder issue. And it looks like a recurrence of that.

Dolan receives a yellow card for that challenge.

Millie Condon runs at the Galway defence. She runs into a Carrie Dolan challenge and there’s a break in play now.

Galway win a free which goalkeeper Sarah Healy comes out to take. Caoimhe Kelly wins possession, creates the space and swings the ball over for the equaliser.

8 mins: Cork 0-2 Galway 0-1

There’s a brief stop in play after a clash of bodies between Laura Hayes and Carrie Dolan. Hayes comes out the worst of it, but she’s good to continue.

6 mins: Cork 0-2 Galway 0-1

Niland tries to get her second point, but it’s another ball into the keeper’s hands as Amy Lee clears the danger.

Cork win a free from a difficult position way out the field. But Saoirse McCarthy measures it brilliantly to give Cork the lead.

5 mins: Cork 0-1 Galway 0-1

McPeake wins the puckout, but Cork win it back. Órlaith Cahalane tries to pop the ball through, but the Galway defence deal with the danger and have a sideline which Carrie Dolan will take.

4 mins: Cork 0-1 Galway 0-1

Cork’s Sorcha McCartan wins a free after she was surrounded by Galway players. Amy O’Connor steps up and converts.

All square in Croke Park.

Niamh McPeake also has a shot at the posts, but her effort falls short before Niamh Niland finally opens Galway’s account with a lovely shot.

Cork struggling to get hold of possession in these early stages.

1 min: Cork 0-0 Galway 0-0
