First-half goals from Jennifer Dunne and Siobhán Killeen proved crucial as Dublin opened their TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship defence with a convincing 2-18 to 1-11 win against Tyrone in Kingspan Breffni. Tyrone’s direct running at the Dublin defence caused problems early on and O’Neill converted a brace of frees. However, O’Neill converted a free on the stroke of half-time to leave just three between the sides at the break. Another Finn free had Cork back in front and just before the water break when they led 0-3 to 0-2. Meath made the extra player count, with points from Lynch and Niamh O’Sullivan closing the gap to 1-7 to 0-8.
