Dublin were the better team in the first half, but only led by a point to no score at the break. In the second half, Doreen Rogers scored a goal for Dublin, but Renee Fitzgerald replied with a Cork goal and had another disallowed near the end. The game was drawn.[citation needed]
The replay was played in Croke Park three weeks later, and Dublin led 2–1 to 0–0 at the break, including a controversial Doreen Rogers goal that was argued to have been scored from inside the small rectangle. Dublin maintained their advantage to the end and prevented a Cork four-in-a-row.[1][unreliable source?]
