Yeah, I was at the game. What a game indeed and fantastically referred by Mark McLoughlin from Warwickshire.
Dunedin looked the best team throughout, but they nearly blew it. They were 6 points up with 2 minutes of time left (5 extra minutes of injury time to play also). Neasden hit three quick points and with the last attach of the game, the Neasden player was awarded a penalty (their second of the game) after he was taken around the neck - a deserved penalty. The lad seemed jittery hitting it and hit her down the centre, but the keeper's trailing leg stopped it and the referee blew the whistle as the ball went into the air from the rebound.
The Dunedin Full-forward line had the beating of the neasden full back line all day , Molloy and i think Matassa, were too quick for their men. Dunedin missed a bucketful from simple free chances in the first half. Harrisno i think may have got 2/3 points, but dan o'brien at full back did well on him. Harrison did win the first penalty when O'Brien fouled him.
Some big men around midfield for both sides, some nice marks taken.
*I think the British Council did updates on twitter.
** Nice side-point. A lot of the Dunedin girls, who the day before, played in Monaghan for their All-Ireland semi-final, flew over to Manchester on sunday for this game. Some committment.
