Lurgan’s lead at half time was a slender 2-1 but the way they had played in the first half indicated that there was more to come and the Lurgan fans looked forward with optimism to the second half. Any hope Ards had of a revival were quickly dispelled at the start of the second half. Lurgan pummelled them right from the out-set . A penalty corner 7 minutes in was scrambled clear by the Ards defence and 5 minutes later a well constructed Lurgan attack resulted in a Carly Johnston shot being well saved by the keeper and then cleared. But Lurgan were relentless in their attacks and 2 minutes later the Ards defence cracked after a beautiful piece of play from Chloe McIlwaine. She won the ball in midfield, slipped one tackle and fed a superb pass to Zoe McNally who drew the keeper and squared to fellow striker Joanne Wilson who thumped the ball against the back-board. Lurgan were 3-1 up and  unfortunately for Ards were a team hungry for more. Full back Lyndsey Fulton then got in on the act as she cleverly linked up with Carly Johnston down the Lurgan left wing and won another penalty corner. The initial strike was saved by the keeper but the ball rebounded to Chloe McIlwaine whose strike deflected off a defenders stick and into the net .Lurgan were now totally in control and with 7 minutes to go they got number 5 from another penalty corner. In a well worked move, straight from the training ground, a Charlene Hull strike was beautifully deflected into the roof of the net past a despairing Ards keeper.
