Two first half goals from St Anne’s gave them a strong lead mid way through the first half but the Harps pegged it back to just trail by 2 points at the break 2-5 to 0-9.
The girls came out firing on all cylinders in the second half and fought their way into the lead however a third goal from the Waterford girls with 10 minutes to go proved decisive and despite throwing all they could at St Anne’s in the remaining minutes they couldn’t peg back the difference.
