Bohs were level with 15 minutes to go after Amie Sinclair fired home from close range. Then three minutes later Bohs won a free-kick 25 yards from goal.

Up stepped Amy O'Connor to  shoot past the wall and into the far corner, with the keeper well beaten. Five minutes later and it was 3-1. Kerrie Deegan did well down the right side of the pitch and crossed for Sinead O'Kelly to volley home giving the keeper no chance.

 With three minutes to go Bohs gave away a free-kick on the edge of the area and a Santry player was left unmarked to score from close range.

Ddeep into time added on, it was 3-3. A corner kick was hit with pace toward six- yard box and another Santry player touched the ball home.
