The final group game in the Senior Championship saw Croydon and Fr Murphys take to the field in sweltering conditions in Mitcham.  The outcome  irrelevant with semi final pairings already decided, it saw the visitors run out eventual winners with a scoreline of 5-08 to 2-02 win over Croydon.

Croydon had the aid of what breeze there was in the first half, but Murphy's Thressa McConnell opened the scoring with a long range point. This was equalised by Croydon's Sarah Allen soon after. Shortly after that, Katie Cullen doubled on a ball to find the Murphy's net to put Croydon ahead. Both teams began to settle and vied for dominance with some fine displays around the middle of the field.  The visitors responded with scores from Emma Taylor and Ruth Foley putting them ahead at the half time whistle 1.04 to 1.02.

Fr Murphy's hit the ground running after the break with some quick scores. They continued to dominate with the Croydon defence having to battle hard to keep them out with Claire McCarthy making numerous saves in her goal line.  Despite the gallant efforts of Elaine Dunphy and Sharon McNeela they were unable to stop the Murphy forwards with goals from Sandra Martin and Claire Towey.  The ball was scarce in the Croydon forward line with Aisling Touhy managing their only score of the second half with a well taken goal.

The two teams now meet on Saturday 12^th June in the Semi Final at Ruislip 2pm. It promises to be a far more competitive game, with both teams determined to book a spot in the final, having both lost at semi final stage last year.
