A second wicket stand of 86 in 9 overs between Irish internationals Louise Little and Orla Prendergast propelled Pembroke to a 49-run win over Malahide in the other semi-final. Little top-scored with a 43-ball 69 (8 fours, 2 sixes), while Prendergast also cleared the ropes twice on her way to a 35-ball 52. Pembroke lost early wickets and never really threatened the total at any time - ending on 123 for 6, with Arlene Kelly and Anna Kerrison each making 25.

A third wicket stand of 108 in 50 balls between Irish internationals Leah Paul and Rebecca Stokell was the catalyst for Merrion's 126-run win at Balbriggan. Paul hit 11 fours in a whirlwind 62 from 31 balls, while Stokell was no slouch either on her way to 41 off 31 deliveries (4 fours). Aisling Lawlor (25*) and Ally Boucher (22*) then added an unbroken 53 in five overs to take Merrion to a total of 210 for 4. The chase never got going as Ella Marsh's 25 was the best of Balbriggan's 84 all out. The wickets were shared with two apiece for Aoife Brennan, Victoria Hayes, Leah Paul, Ashwi Manoj and Bella Armstrong.
