Seaview are through to the final for the first time in their history after overcoming league champions East End United by a solitary goal. The South Wexford side started the strongest and after just fifteen minutes were a goal up when Fiona Rowe found the net with a well placed shot. Seaview enjoyed the better possession in the first half but were unable to increase their advantage and went in still a goal up at half time. East End were more attack minded in the second half but found Seaview more than capable of keeping them at bay and despite a hectic final fifteen minutes, Seaview held on to book their place in the fina;
