Joline Donnelly put Tyrone back in front but it was the last time they would lead as Galway totally overpowered them for the remainder of the half.

Kevin Reidy made several changes in the 2nd half to give the squad some game time and although Tyrone had more posession Galway still outscored them and ran out winners on a score of 4-15 to 1-06. Best on the day for Galway were Edel Concannon with 2-04 and Tracy Leonard with 3 points.
